What You Need for Vegan Overnight Oats
Rolled oats: You can use either old-fashioned rolled oats or quick-cooking oats in this recipe, depending on your preference for texture and cooking time.
Chia seeds: Not only do chia seeds provide a great source of antioxidants, fiber, and omega-3’s, but they also help thicken the oats and make them creamy and satisfying.
Vanilla extract: A teaspoon of vanilla extract adds a delightful flavor to the oats.
Maple syrup: Ditch the table sugar and opt for all-natural sweeteners like maple syrup for a healthier option.

Feel free to make this recipe your own by using different sweeteners or milk alternatives. Agave syrup or honey can be used in place of maple syrup, and any type of plant-based milk can be substituted for almond milk.

Overnight Oats Pro Tips
Prepare your overnight oats in a container that you can store in the refrigerator for easy cleanup and minimal prep time.
We recommend making a batch the night before so you can wake up to a delicious and nutritious breakfast ready to enjoy. These oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, but you may need to add more milk before serving as the oats continue to absorb the liquid.
