Yogurt does magic to your overnight oats. The creamy texture combined with the rolled oats makes for a satisfying breakfast. It comes out so good you’ll almost think you were eating an indulgent dessert from a five-star restaurant.
Side Note: We’re using a non-dairy yogurt for this recipe, but it will work the same with any yogurt.
This recipe features two great ingredients: a plant-based yogurt alternative, we personally recommend soy yogurt, particularly the vanilla one, but feel free to use other vegan yogurts you prefer.
The second ingredient key ingredient is a selection of fruits to top your overnight oats. For this recipe, we have used raspberries. Other berries will work just fine. You may throw in other fruits as well such as chopped apples, bananas, blueberries, etc.

That’s what’s great about overnight oats. You can mix and match flavors and ingredients to your liking to find your perfect pairing.
The milk we have used for this recipe is almond milk, but again you can use any plant-based milk you choose. Cashew milk is also a favorite in our house because it’s one of the creamier ones out there.
Finally, we’ve used maple syrup to sweeten the overnight oats a bit, and some chopped almonds for added texture and flavor.
If you don’t like so much sweetness, you can choose to omit the maple syrup. If you’re not using unsweetened plant-based milk, you’ll want to be careful about oversweetening.
The additional ingredients can be mixed in before refrigerating. Alternatively, you may throw them in right before eating it in the morning.
