🍯 Why This Recipe Works
- Fast Meal Prep: It only takes 5 minutes to mix this recipe together. No cooking required!

🥘 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.
For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.
📖 Variations
You can make this recipe unique by switching up the fruit, flavorings, or mix-ins. Try stirring in a tablespoon of nut butter for a richer, more filling version.
Add a few drops of almond extract for a bakery-style flavor, or top with crushed nuts or granola for crunch.
Want something sweeter? A sprinkle of white chocolate chips or a swirl of cream cheese takes it to the next level.

🍴 Recipe Tips
- Jar size matters: Use an 8-ounce jar or larger to give everything room to expand.
- Make ahead smart: These last up to 4–5 days in the fridge, just stir before eating.
- Adjust consistency: Too thick? Add a splash of milk. Too thin? A spoonful of chia will help thicken overnight.
- Meal prep win: Make 3–4 jars at once to save time all week long.
🍳 Reheating
While this recipe is traditionally served cold, it can be easily reheated in the microwave. Simply remove the lid and heat in short intervals, stirring in between, until your desired temperature is reached.
⏲️ Make Ahead Instructions
This recipe is perfect for meal prep, mix up 3-4 jars at once and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can adjust the sweeteners or fruit based on what’s available or in season, making it super adaptable. Make sure to seal the jars tightly to keep the oats fresh.
👩🏻🍳 Storage
Store any leftover overnight oats in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. If the oats become too thick after sitting in the fridge, simply add a little more milk in the morning to loosen them up to your preferred consistency.
🥣 Recipe Add-Ins
For extra protein, try adding a spoonful of protein powder or flaxseeds. You can also mix in a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice flavor. For a crunch, top with granola, sliced almonds, or even coconut flakes.
💭 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.
