The perfect formula to make the BEST vegan overnight oats for a quick, easy, healthy make-ahead breakfast packed with nutrients, filling, & endlessly customizable!
In an airtight container, glass, or mason jar, add oats, plant-based milk, fruit, seeds or nuts, and sweetener.
Cover with lid or aluminum foil, and refrigerate overnight (or for 3+ hours).
When you wake up, mix, and enjoy chilled. No cooking or heating is necessary—the oats “cook” themselves overnight.

Notes
To adjust the consistency: If you find the soaked oats too thick, add an extra splash of liquid. If they’re too thin, leave them to soak for longer, or add a sprinkle of more oats or another thickener like chia seeds/vegan protein powder.
To adjust the texture: If you prefer chewier/crunchier oats with a soupier consistency, leave them to soak for just 3-4 hours. The longer they sit, the softer/thicker they’ll become.
Frugal tip: If you want creamy overnight oats but to save some money, use half plant milk and half water to soak the oats!
