💛 Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Fast Meal Prep: It only takes 5 minutes to mix this recipe together. No cooking required!
- Healthy + Hearty: Using oats, real fruit, and adding in chia seeds (optional), you can create a healthier breakfast option that doesn't just taste great, but also helps you to feel fuller for longer.

🛒 Ingredients
Old-Fashioned Oats- This is the base of the recipe. These oats will soak up liquid overnight to soften without the need to cook them. I like to use quick cook oats because I prefer the texture. (They do make quick cook steel cut oats.)
Milk: You can use dairy milk or nondairy milk, depending on your preferences. We usually opt for unsweetened almond milk.
Greek Yogurt- Adding Greek yogurt will make the oatmeal thicker and creamier.
See the recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.
🔀 Substitutions & Variations
Make it dairy-free: Use coconut, oat, or almond milk and a plant-based yogurt.
Sweeteners: Substitute honey with agave syrup, brown sugar, or omit entirely for a naturally sweet version.
Flavor boost: Add almond extract or a dash of cinnamon for a bakery-style twist.
Mix-ins: Stir in a spoonful of nut butter, protein powder, or a sprinkle of flaxseed for extra nutrition.
Toppings: Try crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or a handful of Sourdough Discard Granola for crunch.
💰 Budget-Friendly Tips
Use frozen fruit: Swap fresh berries for frozen ones to save money and enjoy this year-round.
Buy oats in bulk: A big container of oats goes a long way, perfect for meal prepping multiple jars.
Sweeten smart: Buy honey or maple syrup in larger bottles to reduce the per-use cost.
Portion control: Prep several jars at once to avoid takeout breakfasts and food waste.

❓ Recipe FAQs
Absolutely! Frozen fruit works great, but make sure to thaw it slightly before mixing it into the oats to avoid making the oats soggy.
You can store them in the fridge for up to 5 days, making it an excellent option for meal prep.
Milk is the most common choice for overnight oats, creating a smooth, creamy texture. You can use whole milk, 2%, or low-fat, depending on what you have on hand. Plant-based options like almond, coconut, cashew, or oat milk also work well and add a unique flavor.
