Have you ever made vegan overnight oats in bulk? Like, super bulk? Because Erik and I have and it was quite the sight! Let’s just say, when you’re running multiple recipe trials of an overnight oats recipe, you gotta make a lot.

And by “gotta make a lot” I mean Erik had to scoop a lot of coconut cream. ‘Til the point where he becomes THE coconut cream scooping expert.

Have you made vegan overnight oats with coconut cream, then tried it with vegan yogurt? It is such an astonishing difference, I cannot believe it. I definitely recommend going the coconut cream route for your overnight oats, unless you have a favorite vegan yogurt.

Side note have you found a good vegan yogurt? ‘Cuz I’m not the biggest fan of the ones I’ve tried…but maybe I haven’t tried a good one yet. Let me know if you do!

Anyway, I was inspired to share this super easy, classic overnight oats recipe with you because, gurl, we need something easy to make this month! Between all the new year’s resolution achieving and the this-new-years-resolution-is-way-harder-than-I-thought-now-I’m-exhausted-and-hungry, we need all the help we can get.

How to Make Sugar Free Overnight Oats (Vegan)

I know that folks are definitely watching their sugar intake–especially this time of year. If you’d like to skip the pure maple syrup in this recipe, go ahead and use stevia or monkfruit instead. Stevia and monkfruit are my favorite natural ways to sweeten a recipe without upping the carbs or sugar count. Start with adding a few drops to your vegan overnight oats during the mixing process. Add more to taste. Then, refrigerate and cover your sugar free overnight oats! 🙂

Recommended Tools for the Best Vegan Overnight Oats!

  • Coconut Cream: my #1 secret ingredient in making the best vegan overnight oats. Yes, you can try using just non-dairy milk, or you can try using just vegan yogurt… but it’s not the same. Coconut cream adds this incredible texture and taste to overnight oats. Think: creamy, indulgent, satisfying, and still secretly healthy. How amazing is that?
  • Cute Mini Jars: My favorite jars to make vegan overnight oats in. They’re resealable, free from plastic and hold so much more than they seem to–um, space-saving and adorable? Yep, I’ve got 3 sets of these babies. (Meal prep, you see.)
  • Chia Seeds: arguably the most crucial ingredient in the best vegan overnight oats. Okay, there’s all the super yum-inducing coconut cream, and of course, gluten free rolled oats! 😉 But without these nutrient-rich, super healthy chia seeds inside, overnight oats wouldn’t have their satisfyingly thick texture.
  • Where to Buy Ingredients: Coconut Cream | Gluten Free Rolled Oats | Coconut Sugar | Natural Sugar Free Sweeteners: stevia or monkfruit drops | Chia Seeds | Pure Maple Syrup | Pure Vanilla Extract
  • Recommended Tools: Cute Resealable Jars or Mason Jars | Perfect Mini Spoons | Glass Mixing Bowls

You’re totally swooning over the cuteness overload from these mini jars, right? I’m not gonna lie, so am I! Plus, I totally love using some of them to store little knickknacks on my desk. Anywho… I can’t wait to hear what you think of my healthy overnight oats recipe! Seriously, thank you so much for stopping by and enjoying these wonderful kitchen moments with me. ‘Til the next one…

Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter ❤️

Description

Classic Overnight Oats Recipe (Vegan): quick & easy vegan overnight oats! Creamy, satisfying & fiber-rich. Prepare breakfast in just a few minutes the night before! Healthy, Gluten Free, Dairy-Free.


Ingredients

Scale

Classic Overnight Oats

  • ½ cup gluten free rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk
  • 3 tablespoons coconut cream or non-dairy vanilla yogurt*
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional, but recommended)
  • 1–2 teaspoons pure maple syrup (optional, but recommended)**

Optional Toppings

  • ½ cup fruit
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts or seeds

Instructions

  1. If making two medium servings, set aside two resealable jars. Here are the resealable glass jars that I use. If making one large serving, set aside one large jar.
  2. Add all ingredients to two medium jars or one large jar, leaving enough room to stir. Or, add all ingredients to a mixing bowl for easier stirring, then pour into jars when done.
  3. Stir until well mixed. Seal jars.
  4. Store overnight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Overnight oats will become thicker as each day passes. If desired, add non-dairy milk to thin it out. Enjoy cold, or heat in the microwave in 20-second increments until warm. Optionally, top with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Where to Buy Ingredients: Coconut Cream | Gluten Free Rolled Oats | Coconut Sugar | Natural Sugar Free Sweeteners: stevia or monkfruit drops | Chia Seeds | Pure Maple Syrup | Pure Vanilla Extract
  • *I prefer using coconut cream in overnight oats—it lends a thick, creamy and delicious texture. If using non-dairy yogurt, make sure to choose your favorite kind—the flavor will be very present. Also, use vanilla yogurt for a tasty addition!
  • **To make Sugar Free Overnight Oats: try sweetening with stevia or monkfruit drops instead of pure maple syrup. Add a few drops before mixing, then add more to taste. Then, follow instructions as listed.
  • Recommended Tools: Cute Resealable Jars or Mason Jars | Perfect Mini Spoons | Glass Mixing Bowls
  • Nutrition Information: is an estimate based on the best-selling, most common brands per ingredient. Also, it’s estimated based on 2 servings per recipe, made with coconut cream and without optional ingredients.

    Can’t wait to make these. Do you use unsweetened coconut cream? Wondering if the consistency changes.

    Made this and it was delicious, but my coconut cream stayed hard. I mushed it up as best as I could, and ate it anyway even though there were small chunks. How can I avoid the chunks from the coconut cream next time? Thanks for a great recipe!

      Hi Mary! Coconut cream firms up when it’s cold. I recommend heating your coconut cream up before measuring it—to a liquid state. Then follow the recipe as directed and mix very thoroughly to avoid chunks. Enjoy!

    Since you only need 3 tablespoons of coconut cream for the recipe, how long will the extra coconut cream stay fresh in the refrigerator?

      Hi Clare, in my experience, about 4-5 days if sealed and covered. You could also try making a double or quadruple batch, or something like coconut based ice cream for the extras. Enjoy! 🙂
