Just stir together oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and blueberries before bed, and breakfast is ready and waiting in the morning.

I love recipes like this because they make healthy eating feel effortless. The oats soften overnight, the blueberries add natural sweetness, and the Greek yogurt provides a nice protein boost to help keep me satisfied.

They’re endlessly adaptable too. Once you learn the basic formula, you can swap in your favorite fruits, nuts, and flavors all year long.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Unsweetened Almond Milk

I like unsweetened almond milk because it’s light and keeps the calories low.

You could also use:

  • Dairy milk
  • Oat milk
  • Soy milk
  • Cashew milk

Greek Yogurt

I used vanilla Greek yogurt, but blueberry yogurt is also delicious. Plain Greek yogurt works too if you prefer less sweetness.

Oats

I generally use quick-cooking oats because they soften beautifully overnight. Old-fashioned rolled oats will also work and create a slightly chewier texture.

Maple Syrup

Adds just a touch of sweetness. You can substitute:

  • Honey
  • Agave
  • Brown sugar
  • Your favorite sugar substitute

Or skip it altogether if your yogurt is sweet enough.

Blueberries

Fresh blueberries are my favorite. Frozen blueberries work just as well and often make the oats even prettier as they thaw overnight.

Walnuts (Optional)

I love the crunch toasted walnuts add. Pecans, sliced almonds, or sunflower seeds would also be delicious.

How to Make Overnight Oats

Step 1

In a medium bowl, stir together:

  • Almond milk
  • Greek yogurt

Serve cold and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

One of the reasons I love overnight oats is how flexible they are. Once you know the basic formula, you can create endless variations.

Try:

  • Strawberries and almonds
  • Raspberries and white chocolate chips
  • Peaches and pecans
  • Bananas and peanut butter
  • Apples and cinnamon
  • Mixed berries and chia seeds

Stored in an airtight container, overnight oats keep well in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
