Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup oats quick or rolled*
- ½ cup soy milk or other kinds of milk (plant-based/dairy)
- ¼ cup soy yogurt or coconut/greek/almond/plain
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or another liquid sweetener
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions

- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight. Give it a quick stir, add toppings of choice, and enjoy!
Notes
*Oats - Both rolled oats and quick oats will work. Rolled oats will yield a chewier and chunkier texture, while quick oats produce a smoother mouthfeel. You can opt for a certified gluten-free brand to keep this recipe free from gluten.
Helpful tips
- Batch-make overnight oats so you will have breakfast ready to go for the next few days. They will stay well in the fridge for up to 4 days. If adding fruits, do so right before serving.
- Mixing and storing overnight oats in mason jars is much more convenient. They are also easy to have on the go on busy mornings! Use a 16oz mason jar so you will have space to add toppings and stir your oats.
- If you are not used to cold oatmeal, heat your oats in the microwave before enjoying them. Add oats and a splash of milk to a microwave-safe bowl, and heat it in 30-second bursts until oats reach the desired temperature.
