Creamy overnight oats without yogurt topping with granola, strawberries, and blackberries.

Overnight Oats without Yogurt

This Overnight Oats recipe is simple, requires minimal ingredients, and is creamy and delicious. No yogurt needed! While many overnight oats rely on dairy or plant-based yogurt for thickness, you can achieve the same texture using nut or seed butter. Perfect for busy mornings, this easy make-ahead breakfast is customizable and ready straight from the fridge.

Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup Old-Fashioned Oats
  • ¾ cup Plant-Based Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Nut Butter (or seed butter) see note
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • Pinch of Cinnamon
  • Pinch of Kosher Salt

Instructions

  • Add the old-fashioned oats, plant-based milk, chia seeds, nut butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to a jar or container with a lid and stir until well combined.
  • Seal the lid on the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight. Alternatively, you can refrigerate it for at least 4-6 hours but leaving it overnight yields the best results.
  • Next day, add any desired toppings and enjoy!

Notes

You can replace the nut butter by using ¼ cup of mashed banana, pumpkin purée, applesauce, or canned coconut milk but I'd recommend reducing the milk by ¼ cup.
