Table of contents

I love healthy breakfast recipes, they keep me energized and full for hours. Recently, I started to eat overnight oats on a weekly basis and it makes me feel great. Between my protein overnight oats, Snickers overnight oats, and banana bread overnight oats, there’s always a delicious recipe to make!

It’s also fresh and cold on hot summer days. Plus, this new raspberry overnight recipe is so refreshing, with tangy, not-too-sweet pieces of juicy raspberries mixed into a creamy vanilla oatmeal texture.

Ingredients

All the ingredients you need to make these creamy refreshing raspberry oatmeal jars are:

• Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats or quick oats, or even steel-cut oats.
• Chia Seeds – White or black chia seeds, both work the same. You can also use my suggestions for chia seed replacements.
• Fresh Raspberries or frozen raspberries – You don’t need to thaw the berries. Simply add the frozen berries to the overnight oat recipe.
• Lime Juice – Optional, but I adore the tangy lime flavor with raspberries. Feel free to use lemon juice instead or simply skip for an extra splash of milk.
• Maple Syrup or any unrefined sweetener you love, including coconut nectar, date syrup, or agave syrup.
• Non-Dairy Milk of Choice – I recommend using any dairy-free milk you have on hand that you love! There’s no wrong combination. I love soy milk for its nutritional properties, packed with protein and fortified. However, I had great success using coconut milk, almond milk, or oat milk.
• Vanilla Extract – for a balanced taste

How To Make Raspberry Overnight Oats

This recipe is inspired by my classic overnight oat recipe in which I added frozen raspberries and a touch of lime.

1. You don’t need yogurt for this version but feel free to swap some of the plant-based milk for coconut yogurt or a Greek yogurt style like soy yogurt to add creaminess. Add oats and chia seeds to a large mixing bowl or airtight container – I like my glass container because they come with a lid.

2. Stir the dry ingredients evenly, then add the liquid ingredients: nondairy milk, maple syrup, lime juice, and frozen or fresh raspberries. Stir and mash the raspberries with a fork into the mixture so they release juice in the overnight oat mixture. Stir well to evenly combine all the ingredients. Close the container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Serving

The next day, divide the batch into small yogurt jars and, if you like, make layers adding your favorite yogurt, homemade chia seed jam, and some extra raspberries.

You can make the jars ahead so they are ready to eat in the following days.

Also, you can double or triple the recipe if you intend to serve more people with this raspberry overnight oats recipe.

Top up the glass mason jar with some of the below:

• Fresh or frozen raspberries

• Yogurt – coconut or soy tastes fantastic
• Nut butter – cashew butter, almond butter, or peanut butter.
• A drizzle syrup like maple syrup
• Jam like my 2-Ingredient Chia Seed Jam

Recipe Variations

There are many ways to make this easy raspberry overnight oats recipe. Depending on your favorite flavors, pick some of the below.

• Raspberry Almond – Add two tablespoons of almond butter to the mixture. Serve with almond yogurt, sliced almonds, and a drizzle of almond butter.
• Raspberry White Chocolate – Stir 2 to 3 tablespoons of your favorite dairy-free white chocolate chips. Serve with melted white chocolate or try my vegan white chocolate.
• Raspberry Cocoa Overnight Oats – Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the recipe for raspberry chocolate. Increase the sweetener by one tablespoon and add a pinch of salt to emphasize the cocoa flavor. You can also stir in 1 or 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips to the recipe.

Storage Instructions

These raspberry overnight oats store for up to three days in the fridge.

I don’t recommend keeping the jar longer in the fridge simply because the raspberries start to turn bad after a few days and can alter the taste of the recipe.

If you used frozen raspberries, you can’t freeze leftovers from the recipe. It’s not safe to freeze a thawed product as it can grow resistant bacteria.

If you use fresh raspberries, it is safe to freeze overnight oats in small batches and thaw them in the fridge the day before serving.

Allergy Swaps

below are some ingredients replacement ideas if you need them:

• Milk – You can pick any nondairy milk, soy, coconut, or oat milk work for this recipe. Feel free to use your favorite flavors.
• Chia Seed Free – Skip the chia seeds for ground flaxseeds or an extra 1/4 cup of oats.
• Gluten-Free – Pick a certified gluten-free oats.
• Fruit Choice – You can use this recipe with any berries you love, including blueberries, strawberries, or boysenberries. However, some berries are sweeter, and you may like to decrease the sweetener.
