Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Rolled Oats: Rolled oats are perfect for this recipe because they soften nicely overnight. If you only have instant oats, they’re also an option, but they’ll absorb more liquid and may be mushier.
Milk: Any type of milk works! I like almond or oat milk for a nutty flavor, but feel free to use regular dairy milk or any plant-based milk you enjoy.
Greek Yogurt: This adds creaminess and protein! If you’re dairy-free, try a coconut yogurt or a plant-based yogurt. It’s optional, so you can skip it if you want a lighter version.
Raspberries: Fresh raspberries add a lovely tartness. If they’re out of season, use frozen ones! Just make sure to thaw and drain them before mixing.
White Chocolate: I love using white chocolate chips for sweet bursts, but you can swap them for dairy-free chocolate or even a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a different flavor.
Honey or Maple Syrup: Use whichever sweetener you prefer. Adjust the sweetness based on your taste. You could also try agave syrup or even a sugar substitute!
How Can I Make My Overnight Oats Extra Creamy?
Making creamy overnight oats is all about using the right combinations of ingredients and allowing enough soaking time. Start with rolled oats, which are thicker and hold up well.
- Mix oats with milk and optional Greek yogurt for creaminess.
- Let the mixture soak overnight in the fridge. This helps the oats absorb the liquid, becoming soft and plump.
- Use full-fat dairy or thick plant-based yogurt for extra richness.
- Stir well before serving to ensure a smooth texture, and feel free to add more milk if you want it creamier.
Raspberry White Chocolate Overnight Oats
Ingredients You’ll Need:
Base Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
Flavor Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup fresh or frozen raspberries, plus extra for topping
- 2 tbsp white chocolate chips or roughly chopped white chocolate
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare, and then you need to let it chill in the fridge overnight (or at least 6 hours) to let the oats soak and become creamy. In total, you’re looking at around 6 hours and 10 minutes, most of which is fridge time!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Mix the Base Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl or a jar, combine the rolled oats and milk. If you want a creamier texture, add the Greek yogurt. Stir everything together until well mixed. This is the base of your delicious overnight oats.
2. Add Flavors:
Now it’s time to add those yummy flavors! Gently mix in the raspberries, white chocolate chips, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Make sure to stir gently—you want the raspberries to break a little and release their color into the mixture, but not completely mash them up!
3. Chill in the Fridge:
Transfer your delicious mixture to a jar or a container with a lid. Make sure it’s sealed tightly, then put it in the refrigerator overnight, or at least for 6 hours. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and become soft and tasty.
4. Ready to Serve!
When you’re ready to eat, give the oats a gentle stir. If you like them a bit more liquidy, feel free to add a splash of milk. Top with some extra fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of white chocolate shavings or chips for extra sweetness.
5. Enjoy!
Now, dig in! Enjoy your creamy, fruity, and delightful Raspberry White Chocolate Overnight Oats as a breakfast treat or a snack any time of the day!
This recipe makes one serving, but don’t hesitate to double or triple it for more. Easy-peasy!
Can I Use Quick Oats Instead of Rolled Oats?
Yes, you can use quick oats, but keep in mind they’ll soak up liquid faster and may result in a creamier, less chewy texture. If you prefer a bit of texture, stick with rolled oats!
How Do I Store Leftover Overnight Oats?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just give them a good stir before eating, and you can add a splash of milk if they seem too thick.
Can I Make These Overnight Oats Vegan?
Absolutely! Use plant-based milk and skip the Greek yogurt, or substitute it with a vegan yogurt. Maple syrup is already vegan, so it’s perfect for sweetening!
What Other Fruits Can I Use?
Feel free to swap in your favorite fruits! Strawberries, blueberries, or even bananas work wonderfully. Just remember to adjust the sweetness level to your taste!
