    Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

    This easy recipe uses simple ingredients easily found at your local grocery store.

    The ingredients for raspberry overnight oats measured out and placed in white bowls on a white marbled countertop.
    • Raspberries. Fresh raspberries add both a sweet and tart flavor. I used fresh berries, but you could also use frozen berries.
    • Rolled oats. Rolled oats are the base for these overnight oats due to their combination of fiber, protein, and complex carbohydrates which provide sustained energy, keep you feeling fuller for longer, and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. You can also use quick-cooking oats, but they might be a bit mushier than if you were using old-fashioned oats. You can also use steel-cut oats - just make sure they are quick-cooking.
    • Milk. This helps to create a creamy and rich texture. You can use dairy milk or non-dairy milk. I used unsweetened almond milk, but you can also use other plant-based milk like coconut milk, cashew milk, oat milk, or soy milk.
    • Greek yogurt. The rich, creamy texture of Greek yogurt makes for a delicious, heart-healthy breakfast that will jump-start your morning with the energy you need to take on the day.
    • Chia seeds. These are a nutritious superfood, plus they thicken and bulk up the oats.
    • Honey. The sweetness from the honey balances out the raspberries' tartness, making these oats truly irresistible. You can also use pure maple syrup, brown sugar, coconut sugar, or a sweetener of your choice.
    • Vanilla extract - adds flavor and richness to the oats. You could also use almond extract.

    Expert Tips

    • For added protein, try adding a scoop of protein powder or some chopped nuts.
    • If you like your oats sweeter, add an extra teaspoon of honey.
    • If your overnight oatmeal is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out.
    • A pint jar is a perfect size to hold all the ingredients and mix everything up, and you still have room for your favorite toppings! 🙂

    Recipe FAQs

    Are overnight oats good for weight loss?

    Overnight oats can be an excellent option for weight loss. They are low in calories and high in fiber, which makes them a filling, nutritious breakfast. The combination of slow-digesting carbohydrates and protein helps keep you full throughout the morning, making you less likely to snack between meals.

    Are overnight oats healthy?

    Overnight oats can be a healthy breakfast option, depending on the ingredients used. Oats are a good source of fiber and contain essential vitamins and minerals. When combined with other nutrient-rich ingredients like chia seeds, fruit, yogurt, and milk, overnight oats can make for a balanced meal that provides your body with the nutrients it needs to start the day.

    Why add chia seeds to overnight oats?

    Adding chia seeds to overnight oats is a great way to boost your breakfast nutrition. Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber, which helps keep you feeling full longer. They are also a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

    Do you eat overnight oats warm or cold?

    I prefer to eat cold oats, which are easy to take with you on the go. However, they can be heated up if you prefer a warm breakfast. To heat, place the jar in the microwave, stopping in 30-second intervals to stir, until warm. This will give them a porridge-like consistency that is perfect for chilly mornings.

    How many hours should overnight oats sit?

    For best results, overnight oats should sit for at least 6-8 hours to soften the oats and allow the flavors to blend. However, if you don't mind your oatmeal being a bit chewy, you can eat it after 2 hours.
