Hey friends!
Looking for a quick and healthy breakfast? I’ve got just the thing for you!
Today, I’m sharing my favorite almond milk overnight oats with berries.
It’s dairy-free, vegan, and oh-so-delicious.
You can prep it the night before, so it’s ready to grab and go in the morning!
Let’s dive in and get those oats ready!
Ingredient Substitutions
Rolled oats can be replaced with steel-cut oats or quinoa flakes for varied textures and nutritional profiles. Steel-cut oats require more liquid and longer soaking time, while quinoa flakes offer a complete protein source. Adjust liquid ratios accordingly.
Almond milk can be substituted with other plant-based milks like oat, soy, or coconut milk. Each alternative provides different flavors and nutritional benefits. Coconut milk adds richness, while soy milk increases protein content. Use a 1:1 ratio for most substitutions.
Maple syrup can be replaced with date syrup, agave nectar, or mashed ripe banana for natural sweetness. Date syrup offers additional minerals, while mashed banana adds fiber and a subtle fruit flavor. Adjust sweetness levels to taste, as these alternatives vary in intensity.

Step 1: Combine Ingredients
Begin by adding all the necessary ingredients to a small bowl or a mason jar with a lid.
Stir thoroughly with a spoon until everything is well combined.
Make sure to mix adequately to ensure consistency throughout.
Step 2: Refrigerate the Mixture
Once the ingredients are combined, cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap.
Place it in the refrigerator and let it chill overnight or for a minimum of 3 hours.
This allows the flavors to meld together and textures to develop.
Step 3: Garnish and Serve
The next day, or after the chilling period, take the mixture out of the refrigerator and garnish it with your choice of toppings.
Feel free to get creative with your toppings to suit your taste preferences.
