Milk and yogurt are essential ingredients in any overnight oats recipe. Both ingredients give the overnight oats a creamy texture. But this doesn’t mean that you cannot make overnight oats without using dairy products. There are tons of plant-based alternatives to these two essentials.
For this recipe, we are using almond milk and soy-based yogurt, vanilla flavor. If these two aren’t your thing, there are other options out there, there’s coconut and cashew, among others. We always recommend them unsweetened, that way, it’s easier to control the sweetness of the recipe, especially since the recipe also uses sweeteners, in this case, maple syrup.
The fruits you want to top your overnights oats with really depend on you, but we have used strawberries in this recipe.
