3 Vegan Overnight Oats Recipes

The morning is always the worst time of day to be rushing around trying to get ready, maybe do a little yoga, AND fix yourself a nutritious, but yummy breakfast, especially if you're vegan and don't have the luxury of scrambling up a few eggs or getting a drive-thru breakfast burrito. I have found that the easiest way to enjoy a delicious, healthy breakfast without spending any time in the morning preparing it is to make overnight oats!

Overnight oats are a very versatile breakfast that you can really add anything to. In my recipes I used plain, instant oats, almond or cashew milk, and maple syrup as a sweetener. I also added chia seeds to every jar for a little extra protein (you can always use the extra protein as a vegan), as well as some extra seasonings and toppings to add flavor. I made these the night before, taking about five minutes to mix up the base, and then added the toppings in the morning!

The first oats recipe I have is Mixed Berry Shortcake. For this recipe I took the base of instant oats, unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, and chia seeds, and added strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, a little vanilla extract, and some granola on top for texture. This was my favorite recipe by far. The oats were creamy and sweet but filled me up enough to hold me over until lunch.

The next recipe was for Banana Bread Oats. This recipe included the base of oats, almond milk, maple syrup, and chia seeds, as well as about half of a sliced banana, a pinch of cinnamon, and some granola. This recipe was the most reminiscent of my childhood when I used to eat cinnamon oatmeal with bananas on top. I also think this recipe would be fantastic with a dollop of nut butter mixed in!

Finally, I created the Almond Joy Overnight Oats! This recipe was the one that I was looking forward to most. Inspiration struck when I was looking in my cabinet and saw almonds, Hawaiian coconut, and dairy free chocolate chips. This was the most fun recipe to make as well as to eat. For these oats I started with the base, except I used chocolate cashew milk. This milk is much thicker so I had to use an extra half cup to completely soak the oats. I also added a little cocoa powder to the mix and topped it with crushed almonds, some coconut pieces I got in Hawaii, and chocolate chips.

l hope that you try one or more of these recipes and love them! I have found that overnight oats are the absolute best breakfast for the mornings that I have to be to work or class at 8 a.m. and don't want to be rushed. My goal is for people to love my recipes and maybe come up with their own concoctions!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
