Find the Hidden Frog

Overnight Oats/Oatmeal

Overnight oatmeal is the easiest breakfast you’ll ever make. You literally just have to mix the ingredients in a jar and refrigerate!

  • Rolled Oats: Use quick oats or gluten-free oats, if needed.
  • Milk: Use your favorite milk you like or have on hand. To make overnight oats vegan, we use almond milk but coconut milk or cashew milk will work just fine.
  • Chia Seeds: These ultra nutritious, low-calorie seeds boast their own list of health benefits! They also act as an oatmeal thickener, but you can leave them out if you aren’t a fan.
  • Nut or seed butter: Almond butter, cashew butter, pumpkin butter, sunflower seed butter and or peanut butter add that savory-nutty flavor and a certain creaminess.
  • Fruit: Have fun with your toppings. Add fruit that won’t get mushy directly into the mason jar or toss them on directly on top of the oats when you’re ready to eat.
  • Sweetener: Leave out or use any sweetener you like – honey, maple syrup, a ripe banana, dates or any low-carb liquid sugar substitute or sweetener such as monk fruit, SWERVE or erythritol will work.
  • For a non-vegan version, you can make overnight oats with yogurt – Add a combination of milk and Greek yogurt to make your oats extra creamy
