Apple, Banana, Blueberry Overnight Oats
A really simple overnight oats recipe, probably my go-to one! The grated apple is a classic addition and provides extra sweetness. I like to serve with some yoghurt and honey in the morning. You can make the recipe vegan by using a non-dairy milk and serving with a non-dairy yoghurt and maple syrup instead of honey.

Ingredients
Makes 2 servings
- 2/3 old fashioned oats
- 2/3 milk
- 1 apple
- 2 raisins
- 1/4 fresh blueberries
- 1 frozen blueberries
- 1 flax seeds
- banana
- plain yogurt
Method

Divide between two bowls or mason jars and store in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, top with the sliced banana and serve with honey and yoghurt, if desired and serve.
Cook's notes
- Use rolled oats (old-fashioned) rather than instant oats for the best chewy texture.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, add a tablespoon of chia seeds to the mixture to help it set.
- Layer the fruit between the oats instead of mixing it all in to keep the textures distinct.
Easy swaps
- Swap almond milk for soy or oat milk for a creamier, nut-free base.
- Use agave nectar or maple syrup if you prefer a different natural sweetener.
- Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the oat mixture for extra warmth and spice.
Frequently asked
Can I eat overnight oats warm?
Yes! While traditionally served cold, you can microwave your overnight oats for 60-90 seconds if you prefer a warm breakfast.
Are these overnight oats gluten-free?
They can be! Just ensure you purchase certified gluten-free rolled oats to avoid cross-contamination.
How long do overnight oats need to soak?
For the best texture, let the oats soak for at least 4 hours, though overnight (8 hours) is ideal for maximum creaminess.
