These overnight oats give me the best of both worlds (in breakfast form anyway)–cool bursts of berries with warm flavors of maple and oats. And it’s ready for grabbing right out of the fridge, making it all the more appealing for my typical rushing-around-running-late-forgetting-things-every-morning ways. 
Maple Berry Overnight Oats
- Total Time: 5 mins
- Yield: 1 1x
Description
This recipe can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free oats and can be made dairy free by substituting extra almond milk for yogurt.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/3+ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, plus more for the morning
- 2 Tbsp. plain yogurt (I use Fage Total 0%)
- 1–2 Tbsp. maple syrup (depending on how sweet you want it)
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla bean paste or extract
- pinch cardamom
- 1–2 handfuls of berries*
Instructions
- In a pint mason jar or tupperware container, stir together all ingredients except berries until thoroughly mixed together. Add berries and stir to evenly distribute throughout oats. Cover tightly and place in the refrigerator overnight (or a few hours).
Notes
*I also really love these oats with slices of banana. If you decide to add banana, make sure all the slices are submerged in the oats so that they don’t turn brown.

I LOVE overnight oats! probably my most favorite breakfast food of all time! I’m definitely going to have to try this one!
So, do I eat them cold or warm? (or is it taster’s choice?) :)
I’ve never tried to warm them, but I suppose you could if you like. If you try it, let me know they turn out!
Also, there is a typo in the serving size. This recipe makes a single serving.
