Mornings can be so busy. When you’re busy trying to get yourself out the door, as well as others, it can be so difficult to eat a good breakfast.

That’s why I like breakfast recipes that I can prepare the night before. Whether it’s a batch of breakfast cookies, some cozy baked oatmeal, or these tasty vegan overnight oats, mornings are easier when breakfast is already made.

And when breakfast is as tasty as these chocolate overnight oats, it’s easy to hop out of bed. I look forward to a chocolatey breakfast topped with fresh, sweet strawberries.

Let your refrigerator do the work for you – it only takes about 5 minutes to prepare these the night before. The oats will soak all night long, and be ready to eat when you wake up.

What is overnight oatmeal?

Overnight oatmeal is simply oats that are soaked in liquid overnight to soften them. They don’t require any cooking – the liquid is absorbed and the oats become creamy and ready to eat.

Gluten Free Oats

If you’re on a gluten free diet, you do need to make sure the oats say that they are certified gluten free on the package.

There are several brands of certified gluten free oats available. If you can’t find them locally, check Amazon or Vitacost. I like GF Harvest brand, because they are made in a peanut and tree nut free facility. You can order GF Harvest on Amazon.

Dairy Free Milk

Any type of milk that works for your dietary needs should be just fine for soaking oats! We like to use unsweetened coconut milk, but dairy milk, nut milks, soy milk, flax milk, or anything at all will work just fine.

I recommend a neutral tasting dairy free milk for best results.

Benefits

Soaking oats does make them easier to digest, because it breaks down the phytic acid. Not only does that make them easier on your digestive system, but it helps your body use the nutrients in oats more easily.

Ingredients

  • certified gluten free oats
  • non-dairy milk
  • unsweetened cocoa powder
  • maple syrup
  • strawberries
  • chocolate chips

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Place the oats and non-dairy milk in a mason jar. Refrigerate overnight.

  • sliced banana
  • pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds

  • toasted coconut flakes
  • sun butter or nut butter
  • white chocolate chips or dark chocolate shavings
