15 Easy And Healthy Overnight Oats Recipes

There’s something about prepping your breakfast the night before that makes you feel super efficient and ready to take on the day before it has even begun! Overnight oats are a great, healthy breakfast that you can make before you go to bed, plus they’re easy enough for the most reluctant cooks to master. Instead of cooking oats in liquid over heat, you combine rolled oats and your liquid, plus any tasty additions, put it in the fridge overnight and wake up to a tasty, oaty breakfast. Here are 15 easy and healthy overnight oats recipes that will help you start your day right.

1. Classic Overnight Oats

This is your base recipe and the most simple of overnight oats. Chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract give a sweet kick to your regular rolled oats and you can add in nuts, seeds or fruit as you wish.

2. Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

A mixture of creamy peanut butter and tangy raspberries gives you classic PB&J flavours for breakfast!

3. Cherry Coconut Overnight Oats

A combo of tropical coconut and summer cherries is a super sweet way to start your morning. If you want to enhance the coconut flavour even more, swap the cherries for pineapple or mango.

4. Cinnamon Roll Oats

This recipe is a healthy alternative to a cinnamon roll that doesn’t miss out on any of the flavour you know and love! It is also gluten-free and rich in protein.

5. Banana Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats

If you can’t resist chocolate completely, have a little bit of what you’re craving with this overnight oats recipe. The sweetness of the banana and the chocolate chips are sure to satisfy a sweet tooth!

6. Pear and Almond Overnight Oats

A tasty twist on the pear and nut combination, this recipe uses almonds instead of the traditional walnuts as a companion to the pear.

7. Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

This recipe switches the typical cream cheese icing of a carrot cake for Greek yoghurt, so you can indulge in the delicious flavour of a carrot cake in a healthier way.

8. Pecan Pie Overnight Oats

Another healthy twist on a favourite dessert, you can swap in almond, cashew or coconut for the regular milk if you are going dairy free.

9. Gingerbread Overnight Oats

This recipe comes with great recommendations, including mixing in dried fruit or pumpkin puree to take your overnight oats to the next level!
