    Ingredients image for raspberry overnight oats.

    Raspberries - use fresh or frozen raspberries. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them before using them. We used frozen raspberries for this recipe.

    Oats – You can use rolled or quick oats to make this recipe but avoid using steel-cut oats. 

    • Overnight oats made with rolled oats are thick with an almost smooth, creamy texture.  
    • Overnight oats made with quick oats, when soaked overnight, become creamier and smoother than rolled oats.
    • Whereas overnight oats made with steel-cut oats remain grainy and soften to a chewy and gummy texture, and don't soak up as much liquid as rolled and quick-cooking oats. 

    Milk – You can use dairy milk, almond milk, soya milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or other types of milk.

    Yogurt - use Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt. We used our homemade yogurt in this recipe.  

    Seeds – Chia or basil seeds can be used. These thicken the oats by soaking up moisture and are high in fiber.  

    We used basil seeds in this recipe because it is budget friendly.

    Both chia and basil seeds are a good source of minerals, and are rich in plant-based omega-3 fatty acids.

    Maple Syrup – if you like your oatmeal sweet, it can be sweetened with maple syrup, honey, or your favorite sweetener.

    Vanilla - you can use vanilla essence or extract.

    Optional topping

    Macerated raspberries - this is simple to make with fresh or frozen raspberries and sugar.

    🍽 Equipment

    You don't need any special equipment to make raspberry overnight oats, but if you are planning to make these for a grab-and-go breakfast, store the oats in mason jars or old jam jars with lids for easy transportation.

    🍳 Step By Step Instructions

    Milk and yogurt in a mixing bowl.

    Step 1 –  Place the milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla into a mixing bowl and stir until well combined. 

    Oats and basil seeds in a bowl with milk and yogurt.

    Step 2 –  Add the oats and seeds, and mix well. 

    Mashed raspberries mixed into oats and milk.

    Step 3 - Add the mashed raspberries and stir until well combined. Taste the mixture for flavor and adjust if necessary by adding more vanilla and maple syrup. Cover and store in the fridge overnight.

    Step 4 - Next, make the macerated raspberries, place the berries into a small bowl and mix with the sugar, cover, and store in the fridge overnight. 

    Step 5 - When ready to serve, layer or mix in the macerated raspberries. Enjoy!

    💭 Recipe Tips

    If you are making these for a grab-and-go breakfast, store the oats in a sealable container, you could use mason jars or other wide-mouth jars for easy eating straight out of the jar.

    🥗 Serving Suggestions

    Raspberry overnight oats taste great with or without a topping. Here are a few topping suggestions you could try:

    • Fresh raspberry, or a mix of berries as a topping
    • Add a dollop of maple whipped cream
    • Scatter on some toasted chopped nuts like pecans or almonds
    • Use flavored yogurt on top
    • Peanut butter or other nut butter.
    • Granola or muesli
    • Chocolate chips
    • Toasted coconut

    Serve cold or hot

    Traditionally overnight oats are served cold as a summer breakfast idea, but these can also be served warm.

    Heating overnight oats

    Stovetop - Overnight oats can be warmed on the stovetop in a small saucepan over medium heat.  

    Mix in some extra liquid like water or milk because it is thick, up to a third of a cup or more if needed.

    Microwave oven - Transfer the oats to a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until hot. 

    📖 Variations

    Use other berries - replace the raspberries with blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries.

    Milk – use milk suitable for your diet, such as unsweetened milk for a sugar free diet or plant milk for vegans, and if you don't like milk, use water instead.

    Sweeteners – like honey, sugar, or artificial sweeteners can be used instead of maple syrup.

    Make it sugar free - by using sugar free sweeteners instead of sugar, and use sugar free milk and yogurt.
