Dairy-Free Overnight Oats
You can absolutely make this delicious breakfast dairy free, and thereby make it vegan too. This will work great with a variety of milks. While you can use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk, my preference is soy milk because it has close to the same protein content as cow milk. In the recipe card at the bottom of the post, you will find the base recipe for this great breakfast. In the body of the post, I have four great variations that will easily help you mix things up. This overnight oats recipe comes together in less than five minutes. Then in the morning you can grab the jar out of the refrigerator and head out the door for the perfect breakfast on the go. Make the original and all four variations at once, because this great recipe will last five days in the refrigerator! While either will work in this recipe, I prefer the texture and consistency of old fashioned oats here.
1/2 cup dry oats 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon honey 1/2 an apple cut up 1/2 tsp cinnamon dash of salt
1/2 cup dry oats 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter 1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder 1 teaspoon honey dash of salt
Note: If you like your oatmeal thinner, add a little more milk to this one.
1/2 cup dry oats 1/2 cup milk 1 tablespoon strawberry jam 1/4 cup diced strawberries 1/2 a banana mashed up dash of salt
1/2 cup dry oats 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup pumpkin puree 1 teaspoon honey 1 teaspoon cinnamon dash of salt
Storing Overnight Oats
Overnight Oats can be stored in your refrigerator four up to five days. That makes these perfect for meal planning on a Sunday. Make sure that they are stored in an airtight container, and always use your best discretion when it comes to leftovers.
