Overnight oats are such an easy and nutritious way to start your day. I love to make these for a grab & go breakfast when I am commuting. These are great for sailing and spending the night on the water – perfect for camping or road trips too! I make them as individual servings in low 14 oz. glass bowls with lids so I can add a lot of fresh fruit on top and still put the lid on. I was recently gifted these gorgeous vintage glass mugs that I use too. You can also multiply this recipe to make a larger batch.
Coconut Blueberry Overnight Oats
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup coconut milk, unsweetened (I like to use the brand So Delicious). If coconut isn’t your thing you can use any liquid you want… almond milk, cows milk, water, oat milk, etc.
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- Agave sweetener (optional but highly recommended)
- Fresh blueberries (or any fruit of your preference)
- Shredded unsweetened coconut (optional but highly recommended)
- If you want to make a serving for four in a large glass bowl add: 2 cups overnight oats, 3 cups milk, 4 teaspoons chia seeds.
Step One: In a small breakfast bowl or glass jar add the oats, coconut milk, and chia seeds and stir. Add the shredded unsweetened coconut if using. Cover and place the overnight oats in the fridge for at least 8 hours.
Step Two: When you are ready to eat your overnight oats, uncover and drizzle with agave sweetener (maple syrup is delicious too) and top with fresh berries. Enjoy!
Note: I prefer to eat my overnight oats warm so I pop the bowl in the microwave for ~ 30 seconds before adding my berries.
Mocha Overnight Oats
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup milk, I like to use oat milk or cows milk in this recipe
- 1/4 cup cooled coffee
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- Cocoa nibs (optional)
- Walnuts, chopped (optional)
- If you want to make a serving for four in a large glass bowl add: 2 cups overnight oats, 2 cups milk, 1 cup cooled coffee, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 4 teaspoons vanilla and chia seeds, and 6 teaspoons cocoa powder.
Step One: In a small breakfast bowl or glass jar add the oats, milk, coffee, maple syrup, vanilla, chia seeds and cocoa powder and stir. Cover and place your overnight oats in the fridge for at least 8 hours.
Step Two: When you are ready to eat your overnight oats, uncover and add cocoa nibs and walnuts (optional) and enjoy!
Note: Again, I like to serve my overnight oats warm so I put the bowl in the microwave for ~30 seconds before I add the walnuts and cocoa nibs.
Making your overnight oats in a glass jar is really helpful if you need to get out the door in the morning or if you are serving these while camping/sailing/on the road.
