You need 5 basic ingredients to make the base for these healthy overnight oats with yogurt! I topped them with blueberries, raspberries and peanut butter for a speedy high-protein and fiber, creamy, tasty, healthy and easy grab and go make-ahead breakfast. This recipe keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days.
I’ve been making this for the last 2 weeks, every single day and I just cannot stop. These oats have become my favorite, not only summer breakfast, but summer treat.
Having no time to cook, I’m kinda sick of eating sandwiches all the time. Or waiting until it’s 9 pm to make myself dinner and salad. So I started making overnight oats again because they’re so easy and they taste so delicious. Plus they’re actually the only recipe other than a salad that fills me up without making me crave a nap.
Overnight Oats With Yogurt Ingredients
- Quick or Rolled Oats
- Honey or Maple Syrup
- Vanilla
- Plain Greek Yogurt
- Milk or Water
For toppings, I chose a tablespoon of peanut butter, then added some raspberries and blueberries, because they’re delicious and they’re in season and cheap right now.
Making Overnight Oats
So the process is pretty simple…
- Put all of the base ingredients in a jar or some other type of food container
- Using a fork mix them really well together.
- Then close that jar with a lid and leave it in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
- Once you take it out – add the fruit and peanut butter and you’re done!
- Grab a spoon and dig in.
The one thing that can go wrong when making overnight oats is the ratio of oats to milk. You want the oats to just be covered with the liquid.

Notes
To Meal Prep For A Few Days:
Adjust the recipe and mix the base ingredients in an airtight container, cover with a lid, then leave them in the fridge for 3-4 days. Adding your favorite nut butter ahead would also be fine. The only thing I'd not add if I were to eat these in 2-3 days is the fruit. Sometimes fruit spoils really fast and if you don't want it to ruin the entire "jar". So just add your favorite fruit the day of.
