Vegan overnight oats

Ever been in need of a healthy grab-and-go breakfast? I certainly have. There are countless mornings I’ve left the house without having breakfast because there simply wasn’t the time to prepare and eat one.

Vegan Overnight Oats are my very best friend for those mornings I already know will be very, very busy.

The smoothie on top is just a absolutely delicious EXTRA but not absolutely necessary. If you don’t have the extra 3 minutes to throw everything in a blender, simply make 3/4 cups oats instead of 1/3 and keep it simple.

Can Vegan Overnight Oats Be heated?

Absolutely! Obviously not the smoothie on top but the oats themselves can be heated either in a microwave or in a pot.

I prefer them fridge-cold, though. They are absolutely delicious cold and topped with an ice-cold smoothie. Yes! Even in the winter!

How Long Can Overnight Oats Stay in the Fridge?

Generally overnight oats can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days. Provided, the milk you used to soak them in didn’t have an earlier expiration date.

That means, you can prepare your oats for the whole work week ahead of time and just grab your breakfast and go to work from Monday to Friday.

Is that amazing or what?

How To Make Vegan Overnight Oats

Now, it’s probably the simplest recipe you’ll ever hit on the internet. So much so I felt like I HAD to add the smoothie on top so it looks like something mega stellar, hahaha.

The base recipe is just:

  • add oats to a container
  • add equal amount of favorite vegan milk
  • spice it up with any or all of these: vanilla, maple syrup, cinnamon, pumpkin spice….
  • next morning eat either just like that or top with: smoothie, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit…..

    Can I make the smoothie and eat half one morning for breakfast and the other half the next day? Store the second half separate from the overnight oats?

      Yes, absolutely! Just store in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll be a lot more liquid because it won’t have anything frozen in it but it’ll still be delicious.

    Why does it say two servings? Is it 2/3 oats per person and the rest of the ingredients is split up? Asking because I’d like to know the calorie count per person:D

      Hi Lina, the nutrition label shows calorie and nutrient count per serving. So half of all the ingredients listed are the amount of calories stated on the nutrition label. I often make 2/3 cups oats and 2/3 cups milk in a jar and put in the fridge overnight. The next day I divide into two jars, make the smoothie and top both jars with half the smoothie each.

    Do you know if the light canned coconut milk will freeze okay for this recipe?

    This looks great, Lorena! Quick Q: is the coconut milk the kind that’s a beverage (found next to the almond milk at the store) or the kind in a can?

      Hi Raquel, thank you :D Any coconut milk will work but I always buy canned. So much tastier and coconuttier :P It also has more fat of course, so depends how your day will be in terms of food :)
