Ingredients
- Raspberries: The raspberries are quickly blended before being added to the oats, so that the fruity flavor is in every bite.
- Vanilla Extract: We use vanilla extract to naturally sweeten the oats and add a little flavor.
- Oats: Overnight oats are best made with rolled, or old fashioned oats. They soften nicely in the milk, but still have a slight chewy texture to them. Steel cut oats will not soften sufficiently. Quick oats can be used, but they will have a much softer texture.
- Milk: You can use any plant based or dairy milk for this recipe. Dairy milk will result in a creamier texture, or you can use almond, oat, coconut or soy if you prefer to make this vegan and dairy-free.

Recipe Variations

Ideally you want to allow the oats to sit in the milk for at least 6 hours before eating so that they have time to soak up the liquid and become soft. If you make this recipe using quick oats, they will be ready to be eaten in around 2 hours.
These raspberry overnight oats are great to eat right out of the fridge, but on colder mornings you can heat them up if you prefer. Empty the contents of the mason jar into a pan and heat on a medium high heat on the stovetop, or, you can microwave for around 3 minutes, stirring half way through.
To Serve
You can of course enjoy these overnight oats straight out of the mason jar with a spoon, but if you are having a more leisurely breakfast, you can place them into a bowl, top with fresh raspberries and a grating of dark chocolate.
