What Are Overnight Oats?
Overnight oats are the easiest way to make oatmeal! Essentially, it's cold oatmeal, but what makes it special is just how delicious and convenient it is. You mix rolled oats with milk in this case we use dairy-free milk, add your favorite flavors like fruits or nuts....or in this case marshmallow + chocolate, and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
By morning, you've got a creamy, chilled oatmeal that's ready to eat. It's like magic in a jar! Plus soaking oats can make them easier to digest because it begins to break down the starches, making them gentler on your stomach!

Ingredients
SMORES OVERNIGHT OATS:

Tips to Making the Perfect Overnight Oats
Here are some tips to help you make the perfect batch of Smores Overnight Oats -
SOAK THE NIGHT BEFORE
- Always aim to make your oats the night before so that it has enough time to fully soak and marry all the great flavors.
MIX WELL
- Give your mixture a good stir to ensure all the oats are coated and any flavorings are well distributed.
TEXTURE CONTROL
- If your oats turn out too thick in the morning, you can stir in a little more milk to achieve your desired consistency.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT OATS
- Organic rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) work best for overnight oats. Avoid steel-cut oats or instant oats, as they may not absorb the liquid properly.
ADD TOPPINGS JUST BEFORE EATING
- For a bit of crunch or extra texture, add toppings like chocolate chunks, marshmallow fluff, or graham crackers at the end.
Can I Eat Overnight Oats Hot?
That’s totally up to you! You can have these overnight oats hot, lukewarm, or cold! Whatever floats your oat boat! If you warm it up, keep in mind it will thicken up a bit so add a little extra of your favorite plant-based milk if you like the texture a little less thick.
Are Oats Healthy?
If you aren’t familiar, oats are super nutritious! They include a great source of carbs, fiber (the soluble kind!), protein, and fat. In addition, they are loaded with important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Tips & Tricks
- STORAGE: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Perfect for meal prep for the week!
- SWEETENER: Instead of maple syrup, you can simply use raw honey, Agave syrup or an ripe banana (whichever taste is best).
- WHAT PLANT-BASED MILKS ARE GOOD FOR THIS RECIPE? You can always use your fave or one of the following: Almond, coconut milk, homemade oat milk (froths/foams VERY WELL), sesame milk, homemade cashew milk, flax milk, potato milk, quinoa milk, etc.
- SERVING: To make additional overnight oats, simply double or triple ingredients, depending on need.
- COCOA POWDER OPTION: For the overnight oats batter, you can use cocoa powder, but be sure to warm it with 2-3 Tbsps of milk to ensure that it's velvety and stirs in the oats well. I find that this works best than just adding it in without "liquifying" it.
