How to make vegan overnight oats
These recipes are as simple as adding all the ingredients to a jar or container of your choice! Letting them sit overnight and enjoying hot or cold in the morning!
- Mix up the base ingredients.
- Stir in the ingredients from your flavor of choice.
What do I make these in??
You can make overnight oats in any jar or container that will hold 3-4 cups.
I like to use the 32oz Mason Jars because they give extra room to stir up your oats really well and they work well in the microwave without having to worry about any overflow. Plus, you can usually find a few for cheap at yard sales or thrift stores!
Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats
Peanut Butter and Banana are a classic flavor combo that was always meant to be. This version is naturally sweetened by the banana, so the sweeter your banana the sweeter your oats!
Powdered peanut butter is the star here for added protein and flavor without the extra fat! But if you like it rich and real, add a drizzle of real peanut butter over the top to finish off this delicious breakfast!
Chocolate Cherry Overnight Oats
Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal is one that I find myself making on repeat. This is the one I make the most when I need a quick breakfast on the go.
I like to use EarthChimp Protein to give my oats an extra filling boost and to add even more chocolate flavor. (To try EarthChimp with a discount, use code SAMCOOKS)
Cocoa powder, chocolate protein and cherries add just enough sweetness for me, but if you like it real sweet you can drizzle with a bit of maple syrup to make it perfect for you!
Carrot Cake Overnight Oats
Carrot Cake Oatmeal never gets old. Not only do we have the veggies from the hidden cauliflower here, but you also get bonus veggie points from the adding shredded carrots!
How to Store & Eat
Store the mixed overnight oats in sealed jars in the fridge for 8-12 hours before enjoying! They will keep for 2-3 days.
Enjoy your oats cold or warmed! I personally like to heat mine up in the microwave for 2-3 minutes before enjoying.
