Recipe Highlights:
These raspberry oats are perfectly sweet and creamy, with juicy and slightly tart raspberries paired with sweet vanilla Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder.
They’re high in fiber, thanks to the oats, chia seeds, and flax seeds, too. All of this fiber brings loads of health benefits, including improved metabolism, cardiovascular health, and gut health.
On top of the 11 grams of fiber, these overnight oats also have 34 grams of protein, making this a super satiating, filling breakfast.
Bonus? There’s no cooking required and they’re easy to prep, making it a perfect meal prep breakfast even for the busiest of folks!
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions:
For a full ingredient list with quantities, please check out the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Frozen Raspberries: I strongly recommend using thawed frozen raspberries. As the berries thaw, they get super soft and juicy, and I swear taste sweeter and almost jammy. They become perfect for mashing into an almost jam-like consistency that mixes well with the yogurt and milk.
- Greek Yogurt: I use a no added sugar vanilla Greek yogurt, but use what you have or prefer. If you’re using an unsweetened plain Greek yogurt, I’d recommend adding sweetener to taste and a half teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Milk: Use whatever milk you prefer to drink!
- Oats: I recommend old-fashioned oats, as they create a great consistency. Quick or instant oats can be used, but you may need to adjust the liquid ratios. I don’t advise using steel cut oats in this recipe, as the ingredient ratios will need even more adjusting.
- Protein Powder: Use whatever protein powder you prefer (or leave it out, if you’d rather!) I love Clean Simple Eats Vanilla Protein Powder, personally. Optimum Nutrition is another brand I use, and their Double Rich Chocolate Protein Powder tastes delicious if you’re someone who likes the chocolate raspberry combo.
- Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are rich in omega-3s, a heart healthy essential fatty acid. They also help create the texture of these oats, and contribute to the fiber, too!
- Flax Seeds: Also adding to the healthy fats and fiber! Be sure to use ground flax for better nutrient absorption.
How to Make Raspberry Overnight Oats
For complete instructions, please check out the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Place the thawed, frozen raspberries in a small bowl or glass jar and use a fork to mash them until they’re a jam-like consistency. Add yogurt and milk and stir to combine.
Add oats, chia seeds, flax seeds, and protein powder and gently stir until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least four hours.
Overnight Oats Tips
- Use frozen raspberries! While you can use fresh, the thawed frozen raspberries give a juicy, sweeter consistency and taste.
- Adjust the liquid to your preferences. I like a thicker overnight oat personally, but if you prefer yours thinner, you can use 1/3 cup of milk, or add a splash or two of milk immediately prior to eating.
- If you’re prepping a large batch at once, put the oats against the liquid ingredients before the chia and flax seeds. Those seeds are hydrophilic, meaning they absorb moisture, so they will start to clump together if they’re sitting too long against the liquid before being stirred.
Meal Prep: Storing & Reheating
You can store overnight oats in the fridge in airtight containers for up to 3-4 days.
And yes – you can eat overnight oats hot or cold! If you want them cold, enjoy them straight from the fridge. If you prefer yours warmed, you can heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or transfer to a small pot on the stove with an additional 1-2 tablespoons of milk and heat until warmed through.
Overnight Oats Toppings:
These oats are truly delicious as is, but if you’re looking for a little extra something, try some of my favorite raspberry overnight oats toppings:
- Fresh raspberries
- Chopped peaches
- Chopped mango
- Toasted coconut
- Mini chocolate chips
- Chopped almonds
- Walnuts
- Pistachios
- Drizzle of almond or peanut butter
