Unless you’re having fruit or a hard-boiled egg, there are very few options for a comforting breakfast that can be made the night before. Overnight oats are easy to make and require no cooking whatsoever. It is the best feeling to sleep in those extra 7 minutes knowing that my breakfast is already prepared for me. Best part is, you can make it in a container or a jar and take it on the go. The following recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and has no added sugar. This is how I normally like to eat my overnight oats but the possibilities are endless. Many people add greek yogurt to give extra creaminess. I also love topping my overnight oats with my quinoa granola for added crunch! This recipe is so easy and delicious! Bon appétit!

Thank you for this NON YOGURT option! I want to like yogurt, I simply don’t! 🙂 Do you think I could make this and store for 2 or 3 days or is 24 hours sort of the max? Thank you!
Absolutely!
2-3 days should be fine!
This looks like a great recipe I will be trying tonight. I also am so happy of find a non yogurt recipe. I wished I liked but stuff but really don’t. I have several severe food allergies so I will be using soy milk in mine. I am also going to try peanut butter instead of almond. I am severely allergic to tree nuts and milk. Hopefully that will work. Thank you for the recipe.
Enjoy!!
Hope it works out!
