Top tips
Recommended ingredients: You can use quick or porridge oats instead of rolled oats in this overnight oats recipe, however the texture will be finer and softer.
Note: If you are making this recipe as a bircher to serve straight away, you will need to use quick or porridge oats, rolled oats won’t work as they need time to soak.
Optional extras: Add a tsp of your favourite nuts or seeds for an extra nutrient boost; chia seeds, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, chopped nuts or nut butter all work well with overnight oats.
Substituting ingredients: You can use oat milk, soya milk or almond milk instead of coconut milk if you prefer or if this is what you have on hand. You can use agave or coconut nectar instead of maple syrup to sweeten.
Doubling the recipe: If you’d like a larger portion or intend to make these overnight oats for 2 people you can easily double the recipe.
