Raspberry Coconut Overnight Oats

These little goodies are great for an on-the-go breakfast! And the best part?! There’s no cooking necessary -- just mix all of your ingredients together, cover and let the oats sit in your fridge overnight (get it?). By the time you wake they’ll be the perfect consistency and full of all sorts of fab flavors. Plus, having these ready and waiting will help minimize morning stress and get your day off to a healthy start!
 
Ingredients:

•    1/3 cup old fashioned oats
•    1/3 – 1/2 cup milk of your choice. soy and almond milk work great! (and remember, less milk makes it a bit thicker. more milk, a bit smoother. add according to your preference)
•    1/3 cup plain yogurt

•    1 tsp cinnamon

•    2 tbsp shredded coconut

•    small handful of raspberries

    

Preparation:

Add all of the dry ingredients to your container. Pop on the lid and shake it up. Stir in your milk and yogurt. Sprinkle raspberries on top, cover with lid and let sit in fridge for a few hours at least. Overnight is best.

Get creative with your flavors! Try peanut butter with dark chocolate chips, strawberry and banana, brown sugar and cinnamon, blueberries with granola, the possibilities are endless!

I eat alot of quacker oats.

Actually, I make something like this each morning. No cooking; just drop it all in the blender. The oats are a good way to lower cholestrol. Keeps my stomach quiet all morning. 1/2 cup oats, 3/4 cup milk, 1 tbsp sugar, and a plumb. Blend until smoooth.

Thank you so much for this recipe! My son loves to eat oatmeal in the mornings, but he leaves for college before I get up, so I usually have to cook enough oatmeal for several days so he can just reheat in the mornings. Your recipe is a great option. I'll see if he's up to preparing this for himself in the evenings. I will at least prepare some tonight for both of us to have tomorrow morning.

I have overnight oats for breakfast everyday! I usually add 1/2 banana, 1tbsp chia seeds/basil seeds, 1tsp honey, 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup water. All for a total of 350 Kcal for a breakfast I loook forward to!

[Carolyn Koenig]

Yes, I will try this.

I also use uncooked oats for a version of Meusli (I use all organic ingredients): old fashioned uncooked oats, plain low-fat yogurt, walnut pieces (can be left out), at least 3 kinds of cut up fruit (such as grapes, bananas, blueberries, strawberries, peaches). Mix together. Start with about a cup of oats and a small container of yogurt and adjust amount to your preference depending on how moist you like it. It can sit overnight, but fresh is better. So easy. Yummy and healthy breakfast! My family loves it.

Oats are good to reduce cholesterol!

Try it with dried cranberries, nuts and just a little brown sugar. Good stuff!

[Ed Gibbs]

For those who don't like yogurt or are lactose intolerant this also works with unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon. Just like that Apple Cinnamon oatmeal from the store, but without all the sugar. Eat it right from the fridge or pop it in the microwave for a couple minutes to warm it up.

Also try canned pumpkin and unsweetened almond milk with some Pumpkin Pie spices (nutmeg, cinnamon).

[Pam]

Yes, I will try it, but maybe with strawberry and bananas or cinnamon and brown sugar.

[Kathy Bogue]

This is a great recipe for camping also. You don't need to soak the oats all that long -- 10 or 15 minutes will do it. Then just add all the fruit, nuts and spices that are in season and available. Yum!

[Cheryl]

Partial recipe on first page with hyperlink to this page with full recipe states 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon, it should be 1 Teaspoon!

[C. Kay]

I'll try it with paleo cereal. IT is made with all kinds of nuts but should be great sitting overnight with almond milk.

[Dorina Trinidad]

I'll defintely make this as soon as I reach home - Can't wait to try this tomorrow morning:) Yummm!!!

[Lauren]

I love ONO (overnight oats)! If you're vegan or lactose-intolerant, try the SO Delicious brand yogurt (it's made with coconut milk) or forget the yogurt all together and mix in 1 Tablespoon of chia seeds.

[Barbara]

Can't wait to try this one. I usually add oats to a smoothie that I make at home with many of the ingredients in your recipe.

[Sarah Sowards]

Yes, I will try them. I like easy and this sounds really easy. Will probably use blueberries instead of rasberries.

[MARYANN WHITIS]

yes i will try this.

i love oats and this sounds good
