A quick and easy breakfast that has endless possibilities. Here is my basic overnight oatmeal recipe, 4 different ways.
Equipment
Ingredients
Basic recipe
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds

- 1 cup coconut milk (or favorite plant milk)
Chocolate oats
- 2 tsp cacao powder
- 1 tbsp walnuts (for topping)
- 1 tbsp shredded coconut (for topping)
Matcha oats
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (for topping)
Berries oats
- 1/2 cup frozen berries (to soak overnight)
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (for topping)
- 2 tbsp sliced almonds
- 1 tbsp raw cacao nibs
Spiced oats
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Begin by mixing the ingredients of the base recipe together.
- Depending on your chosen flavor, add the remaining ingredients. Mix well.
- Store in a closed container in the fridge overnight.
- The next morning, remove from the fridge and add desired toppings. Drizzle with maple syrup (optional) and enjoy.
Notes
- Quick oats or instant oats can work in a pinch if you forgot to put your old fashioned rolled oats in the fridge the night before
- The easiest thing to use is a mason jar for your overnight oat recipe because you can close the lid, shake it up, and set to soak. I've also used regular food containers, recycled jars, and a plain old bowl with a plate on top.
