Delicious, quick, and easy vanilla overnight oats (in the refrigerator!). Made with oats, almond milk, chia seeds, and 100% maple syrup! Whole food and whole grain!At our house, Mad eats oatmeal every day of the week, including weekends. She can’t get enough! And one of our favorite ways to have oatmeal is by making overnight oats. Truthfully, it’s because it’s super easy for me. Ha! I can prepare it after dinner and it’s ready to go at breakfast time. Score!

Delicious, quick, and easy vanilla overnight oats (in the refrigerator!). Made with oats, almond milk, chia seeds, and 100% maple syrup! Whole food and whole grain!I tend to use the same basic recipe every day and then add something different to change things up a little bit. Mad’s favorites are fresh strawberries or sliced apples with cinnamon. I personally love adding raspberries and sliced almonds (as pictured above)! If I have some on-hand too, I usually splash a little half-and-half over the top just before serving. I find it makes it a bit more creamy and delicious.

The bananas can get, um, brown and yucky if you let them sit too long (we learned that lesson the hard way).

    Overnight oats are a favorite around here too! I use gluten free oats in mine. They’re so many wonderful ingredients you can add to come up with a new and different flavor every time. Great tip about the bananas!

    We love overnight oats in our house too. I like your recommendation to add half and half, I bet that makes it super creamy. Yum!

    I love overnight oats – they are so easy to make and so healthy. Great tip about the bananas. I’ve not added them before but could see myself being tempted to just add them in the night before I eat it and then regret it. 🙂
