I'm going to come out and say... these are the BEST OVERNIGHT OATS.

They are so perfectly creamy and thick. I don't even need fresh fruit in my overnight oats anymore!

I decided to use frozen mixed berries for the oats I made, but you can use whatever frozen fruit you love.

Fresh berries are super expensive nowadays so buying them frozen is a great way to save some money.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of oats work best for overnight oats?

I recommend old fashioned rolled oats. Do not use steel cut oats or instant oats.

Is frozen fruit good in overnight oats?

Yes, frozen fruit is awesome in overnight oats!

I have a method to using frozen fruit in overnight oats. Rather than mixing in the frozen fruit before refrigeration, I combine the other ingredients and place the frozen fruit on top. The next day, I gently mix the fruit. This way, the frozen fruit doesn't break apart and become mushy.

Do I need to thaw the frozen fruit before adding it on top?

Nope! The frozen fruit will thaw overnight in the fridge.

Are overnight oats good after 3 days?

These overnight oats are great for meal prep. They should last for about 3 days stored in an airtight container, in the refrigerator.

Want to bump up the protein?

If you want extra protein, you can use protein powder or collagen powder. Please note that you may need to add more milk based on the consistency of the powder you're using.

Overnight Oat Topping Ideas

I love adding yummy toppings on my overnight oats. A few of my favorite toppings are...

granola
nut or seed butter
unsweetened shredded coconut
dark chocolate chips
chopped nuts
pumpkin seeds
