Tips for making vegan overnight oats
- When making overnight oats you want roughly a 1:1 ratio of oats to liquid
- Adding any mix-ins such as fresh or dried dried fruits and nuts won’t change the ratio much.
- For this recipe I used slightly less oats since I like mine with a bit of liquid leftover. Experiment and find your favorite ratio.
Overnight oats are a simple way to stick with a healthy lifestyle. They’re simple to make, save you time by prepping ahead, and are completely customizable with endless possibilities for flavor combos (such as my Apricot Almond Butter or Chocolate Strawberry overnight oats recipes). You can use regular milk, or almond or soy milk for a vegan option. Pick your favorite fruit preserve such as grape, strawberry or raspberry to compliment the peanut butter.

PB and J in oatmeal! It’s perfect for weekday morning n healthy no fuss stuff!
It sure is, thanks Suchi!
I’m a big fan of overnight oats even though I’ve only tried them a few times. I’m loving this combination of peanut butter and jelly for breakfast 🙂
It took me forever to finally try them but now I’m a huge fan. Thanks Stephanie!
You’ve found my weakness – pb&j — seriously, that simple combo gets me every time. I’ve made overnight oats before, but I confess — I always heat them up – there’s something about cold oatmeal that feels wrong, but it’s nothing that a minute in the microwave can’t fix!!
Now I’m curious to try them warm, especially in winter time. Thanks for the tip Lisa!
I love making overnight oats! And I can never resist peanut butter and jelly!
I totally agree Mary!
I’ve so gotta remember that tip on the 1:1 ratio of oats to liquid when making overnight oats and the next time I’ve gotta try your recipe! PB and jelly is a combo had to resist for sure! Thank you! #client
It makes ruinous easy and glad it was helpful. Thanks Shashi and hope you do!
