simple overnight oats recipes

Looking for a delicious and simple overnights oats recipe? I have three of my favorites for you today. Overnight oats are a lazy person’s healthy breakfast. Although I love cooking dinners for two or more, I’m usually pretty lazy about making food in the morning.

I like a balanced meal with protein, high-fiber carbs, and healthy fats to fuel my day.

The first recipe is one of my favorite go-to’s. The others are fancier variations on my simple classic. 

COACH ROXY’S LAZY FAV SIMPLE OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2-1/3 cup old-fashioned oats*
  • 1 scoop of SFH Fuel Protein Powder (Coconut)
  • 1/2 -1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or oat milk
    • OR use my eye-ball method of liquid in the instructions below
  • 1 TBS of raisins
    • OR 2 TBS freeze-dried blueberries or strawberries
  • 1 TBS organic ground chia & flax seed blend
  • A small handful of fresh fruit for topping (optional)

You can use a drop of liquid stevia if you want it sweeter, but it’s good for me. The protein powder is already sweetened with stevia.

*Overnight oats do not work with the quick-cooking kind.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Put all dry ingredients (oats, protein powder, dried fruit, and ground seeds) in the mason jar
  2. Stir a little
  3. Pour in almond milk up to the dry mixture
  4. Wait until the liquid is done bubbling through the oats
  5. Pour a tiny splash more liquid to be safe
  6. Put the top on your jar and shake vigorously
  7. Refrigerate overnight (or for a few hours) so that the oats soften and absorb the liquid.
  8. Add fresh fruit if desired

PEACH COBBLER OVERNIGHT PROTEIN OATS

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 TBS vanilla SFH protein powder 
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (honey, stevia, sugar, or sweetener of choice)
  • 1/8 teaspoon (a pinch of) kosher salt
  • 1 small peach, or ½ cup peach, diced*
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg

For the topping:

  • 2 tablespoons granola (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped toasted pecans or other nuts

*You can use frozen peaches if needed but be sure to make the night before if you do.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the first 7 ingredients (oats through almond extract).
  2. In a separate bowl, toss together peaches, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Place half of the oat mixture in a small bowl or a large mason jar. Top with half of the peaches. Add the remaining oat mixture over the peaches and cover.
  4. Refrigerate overnight (or for a few hours) so that the oats soften and absorb the liquid.
  5. Just before serving, top with granola and nuts.

CHOCOLATE OVERNIGHTS OATS

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 -1 TBS Chia + Flax seeds (I prefer ground seeds, but you can do whole)
  • 1 scoop Vanilla or SFH Chocolate Protein powder 
  • 2 TBS unsweetened Cocoa Powder 
  • 1/2 –1 cup Unsweetened Almond or Coconut Milk
  • Use liquid stevia to taste – just a drop or two goes a long way!

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Put all dry ingredients (oats, protein powder, dried fruit, and ground seeds) in the mason jar
  2. Stir a little
  3. Pour in almond milk up to the dry mixture
  4. Wait until the liquid is done bubbling through the oats
  5. Pour a tiny splash more liquid to be safe
  6. Put the top on your jar and shake vigorously
  7. Refrigerate overnight (or for a few hours) so that the oats soften and absorb the liquid.
