Ingredients needed to make these vegan overnight oats

Oats. This will be the base for our recipe. You can use rolled oats or quick oats for this.
Protein Powder. I love adding protein powder to up the protein in this recipe, but you can leave it out if you prefer! If you’d like to try a delicious vegan protein powder that taste delicious and is super smooth, you need to check out Good Protein! You can use my code RIRI30 to save 30% off your purchase.
Chia Seeds. This is what is going to help the milk thicken overnight and for the overnight oats to become super creamy.
Ground Flax Seeds. I love adding ground flax for healthy omega-3s and fiber.
Hemp Seeds. This helps to add some protein to your overnight oats, as well as omega-3 and omega-6 to help lower cholesterol.
Ground Cinnamon. For added flavour.
Maple Syrup. Optional, but adds the perfect touch of natural sweetness to these overnight oats.
Plant Milk. I like using either almond or oat milk, but you can use any milk of your choice.
Toppings. I love adding berries, banana slices and peanut butter to my overnight oats before eating, but you can add any other toppings of your choice. For example, crushed nuts, yogurt, dates, apples, chocolate chips, etc.

Additional add-ins and tips on making the best overnight oats

You can add so many other ingredients to this overnight oat recipe to make it to your liking! If you’d like it thicker, you can add some yogurt, or decrease the amount of milk you include. If you’d like it thinner/more liquidy, you can simply add more milk before mixing all the ingredients together.
Make sure to mix all your ingredients well before refrigerating so everything is evenly combined.
Let the overnight oats set in the fridge overnight for best results. I would recommend letting these vegan overnight oats refrigerate for at least 8-10 hours to have the best consistency. Before enjoying, you can also heat it up in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute if you would prefer to eat it warm.
