Easy Raspberry Overnight Oats Recipe
This classic raspberry overnight oats recipe is super simple and packed with fresh fruit flavor. It’s a quick and healthy breakfast that prepares itself while you sleep.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Rolled Oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best creamy texture; instant oats can get too mushy.
- Fresh or Frozen Raspberries: Both work great! Frozen berries will release more juice as they thaw, coloring your oats.
- Sweetener Choice: Adjust maple syrup or honey to your liking. Start with a little and add more when serving if needed.
- Chia Seeds for Thickening: These tiny seeds help absorb liquid and make your oats thicker and more filling.
What You Need
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind you prefer)
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- Pinch of salt
⏱️ Time: 5 minutes prep, 4+ hours chill🍽️ Yields: 1 serving
How to Make It
Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a jar or small bowl, combine the rolled oats, optional chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Give them a quick stir to make sure everything is blended.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients and Fruit
Pour in your milk and sweetener. Add the raspberries. Stir everything together well until the oats and berries are evenly mixed into the liquid.
Step 3: Chill Overnight
Cover the jar or bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to let the oats soften and thicken.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
In the morning, give your overnight oats a stir. Add more milk if you like a thinner consistency, or extra fresh raspberries on top.
📝 Final Note
These raspberry overnight oats will stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed container, making them great for meal prep.
Delicious Raspberry White Chocolate Overnight Oats
For a slightly sweeter start, try these raspberry white chocolate overnight oats. The creamy white chocolate pairs wonderfully with the tart raspberries for a tasty morning meal.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- White Chocolate Quality: Use good quality white chocolate chips or a chopped bar for the best flavor. This adds a sweet, creamy element.
- Balance Sweetness: White chocolate is sweet, so you might need less added maple syrup or honey. Taste before adding extra sweetener.
- Raspberry Freshness: The tartness of the raspberries cuts through the sweetness of the white chocolate, creating a nice balance.
- Chill Time is Key: Allowing enough time to chill lets the white chocolate flavor infuse with the oats and milk.
What You Need
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind you prefer)
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional, adjust to taste)
- Pinch of salt
⏱️ Time: 5 minutes prep, 4+ hours chill🍽️ Yields: 1 serving
How to Make It
Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a jar or bowl, mix the rolled oats, optional chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir them together.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients and White Chocolate
Pour in the milk and the optional maple syrup or honey. Add the white chocolate chips. Stir well to mix everything.
Step 3: Stir in Raspberries Gently
Fold in the raspberries. You can stir them completely in, or gently swirl them to keep some berries whole for a nicer look.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Cover your oats and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. When ready to eat, stir, and add more raspberries or a few extra white chocolate chips on top if you like.
📝 Final Note
For an even richer taste, you can gently warm a tablespoon of milk with the white chocolate chips to melt them, then stir this creamy mixture into your oats before chilling.
