This is the absolute perfect, healthy, easy fall breakfast. Lightly sweet with a hint of spice all made in 5 minutes!
You all know how much I adore overnight oats. I eat them every single day. Seriously without fail, every day. I usually let them sit overnight, but if by chance I forget to make them (I usually make 4 or 5 at a time), I have been known to eat it right after making it. Shrug. I told you I was obsessed.
I am always looking for a quick, healthy breakfast on the go (because most mornings I am on the go) and these overnight oats are always the answer. Is it weird that I actually look forward to eating them every day? Don’t care. I love them. Oh and it’s a total added bonus that this is packed with protein, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and crazy delicious.

I love to add the pepitas (pumpkin seeds) right before I eat. They add a great crunchy texture and lots of magnesium, zinc and omega-3-fatty acids. You could always add my Coconut Maple Roasted Pumpkin Seeds to add some more sweetness! Man, those are my favorite.
I must sound like a broken record, but if you haven’t tried overnight oats yet, you seriously need to. If the cold oats don’t intrigue you, simply warm them up for a little bit. But please, please try them (yes, I am begging!)
Check out some of my other overnight oats recipes: Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chunk Overnight Oats, Apple Pie Overnight Oats and good old faithful No Cook Overnight Oats. I love them all equally. 🙂

jeannie says
January 15, 2015 at 8:52 pmThis recipe sounds great. I want to try it today. If I make the full recipe, does it keep for several days or is it best to eat it the first day?
lauren.kelly says
January 15, 2015 at 9:16 pmHi Jeanine! Yes, absolutely it will keep for several days. I make them for the week and keep them in my refrigerator to make life easier 🙂 I hope you like it!

February 24, 2016 at 1:50 amLove me some pumpkin! I had just enough left in the freezer (I kept not being able to get through it all before it got fuzzy) to make this stuff. I even got some pepitas to throw on top, and I’m glad I did. Unfortunately, these didn’t turn out so great for me. I’m starting to grow increasingly unhappy with my protein powder, RAW. I used vanilla here, but it seems like every time I use the stuff there’s this dusty, almost-grainy texture and taste. I had to double the maple syrup, and even then the sweetness was very subtle. It all turned out quite dense, which I don’t mind terribly, and the seeds added some much-needed texture. I’m definitely going to have to revisit this once I get a different protein powder.

August 12, 2016 at 12:17 amThank you for the recipes. It taste AWESOME!
My first try on this recipe today. I didn’t use protein powder and almond milk, and it’s still taste great; as I substituted with Manuka Honey and Flaxseed to boost the flavour. I will make this delicious overnight oats for my friends very soon…
