I like to get creative with overnight oats in general because it’s very easy to put together and doesn’t require any cooking! I also love to prepare them for breakfast meal prep because they require pantry ingredients and staples like oats and nut milk. You can also prepare these in advance and store many variations so you don’t get sick of the same flavours.
How to Make Overnight Oats
As the name states, overnight oats are made to stand overnight in the fridge. The best part is that the preparation is done the night before, so all you have to do is wake up and have the delicious dessert that’s waiting for you.
Firstly, you have to choose ROLLED OATS. Quick or instant oats don’t taste good in this dish in general. For optimal taste, choose organic rolled oats – I always choose the Bob’s Red Mill brand.
As shown in the image above, all you have to do mix your rolled oats with ingredients like nut milk, maple syrup, an espresso shot and cocoa powder. For the vegan ‘mascarpone’, simply mix maple syrup and lemon with vegan yoghurt (I used Cocobella’s Vanilla Coconut Yoghurt) as shown below.
Gluten Free Option
Be sure to choose gluten free rolled oats for this recipe and swap out the plant milk for soy milk, cashew milk or almond milk for an equally delectable breakfast!
