10 Overnight Oats Recipes

10 of my favorite plant-based overnight oats recipes to meal prep for an easy, fun, nutritious breakfast. Perfect for any season of weather and life!

Friends, how is it already August?

This have been busy here but with all good things.

This past weekend I went camping with M and friends in the Shenandoah.

I didn’t have any cell phone service, so my cell phone and watch told me the time but not a lot else.

Without my electronics, I spent time starting a fantasy series that I previously couldn’t immerse myself in from the reality of my my condo.

We also hiked 7-miles around the campsite trails, played Exploding Kittens around the campfire, and had the best small and big talk surrounded by a canopy of trees.

In the mornings, we drank coffee and ate breakfast on the picnic bench with our books and breakfast in hand.

My forever favorite camping breakfast (and meal prep breakfast at home, too!) is overnight oats.

They’re so easy to mix up and creating new variations has become a bit of a hobby for me.

I compiled 10 of my favorite Overnight Oats Recipes that are easy to meal prep for an easy, fun, nutritious breakfast.

Grab some mason jars and your favorite overnight oats recipe below and let breakfast be as simple and rewarding as a weekend at the tent site.

There’s an ONO recipe for every season of weather and life on this list!

Key lime pie overnight oats with lots of lime, yogurt, and creamy avocado for color. Serve with blueberries and granola. Perfect for meal prep!

How are the spring time allergies, buds?

It looked like it was snowing today, there was so much plant and tree matter flying through the air.

This is my first time navigating allergy season in Maryland, and I was really hopeful that the sniffles might just…skip me.

My symptoms are mostly triggered by those awful orange oak strings that litter the streets and sidewalks.

So that was probably wishful thinking because our back porch faces a wooded area filled with oaks.

Doh.

I’m limiting my time outdoors a lot more than I’d like and showering in the evenings to get the tree stuff off of me.

It’s hard because this is the time of year when it’s the *perfect* temperature to do all things outdoors.

However, I know something that tastes like spring and summer straight from the fridge.

These key lime pie overnight oats are made with lots of lime, yogurt, and creamy avocado for a sunny meal-prepped breakfast!

Orange Cranberry Overnight Oats

Easy overnight oats made with fresh squeezed orange, almond milk yogurt, and tart dried cranberries. Perfect to meal prep for breakfast on the go!

In Germany, we sat around the kitchen table in the morning, watching the Coffee Siphon brew coffee from one chamber to the next, like an hourglass where time runs both ways.

We sipped on dark roast brew and chatted in Hemingway-style sentences until the caffeine started to kick in.

When my tiny coffee mug was empty (mugs are much smaller, in Germany!) I stood and stretched and announced it was time to start the day.

After returning from my holiday in Germany I’m working on revamping my morning routine.

II miss my coffee companions abroad, but also am enjoying setting up some structure for 2022.

This year, I started setting my alarm earlier so I have time to meditate and start the day with stillness.

Meditation is a habit I started in Germany, silently sitting cross-legged on my travel yoga mat, bathed in sunshine from the winter garden.

The same reliable players are always on my morning menu, too; movement, water, gratitude, journaling, and, of course, coffee.

And now, let’s add in Orange Cranberry Overnight Oats!

These overnight oats celebrate citrus season with fresh squeezed orange paired with creamy yogurt and tart cranberries.

They’re perfect to meal prep quickly for busy mornings this winter!

Peanut Butter Pumpkin Overnight Proats

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Pumpkin peanut butter protein oats for one! Mix up these easy oats for a pumpkin and protein-packed breakfast that’s perfect for busy fall mornings.

This past weekend I had a plant re-potting party here at F&V.

M and I squatted on the deck and transferred my spider plant, split leaf philodendron, and aloe vera to bigger pots.

Scooping dirt into ceramic pots and patting the earth around my plant babies was totally therapeutic.

The move was inspired by my split leaf philodendron, which has grown at an exponential pace since I bought it on a whim from Whole Foods last year.

Did you know that plants need to be moved to bigger pots about once a year for optimal health?

When I last repotted my philodendron it surprised me by exploding with happy green leaves and new vines.

I mean, it makes sense that they need a pot that properly fits their expanding root system.

Just like us, they need room to grow.

Give yourself some room to grow by making breakfast in advance this autumn.

These Peanut Butter Pumpkin Overnight Proats are perfect to prep ahead for a fun fall breakfast.

Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Oven-baked oatmeal that tastes just like carrot cake! It’s perfect to prepare in advance and serve warm or chilled for an easy meal-prepped breakfast.

When I stop and think about how far into 2021 we already are, it gives me whiplash.

Is the year going quickly for you, too?

Anyway, April 2 was my birthday, my second birthday in careful quarantine.

My sister dropped of hand-wrapped gifts to my doorstep and my amazing cousin delivered an exquisite bouquet of flowers.

I video-chatted and texted with my friends, believing that this time next year I’ll be squeezing them instead of the volume button on my phone.

And let’s not forget food!

M made me pancakes– the first pancakes he’s ever made– and they were delicious.

For dinner, we ordered Sweetgreen, because it’s the most “Lauren” thing I could think of that was within the delivery range for Uber Eats.

The week of my birthday I tested a cake (coming soon!!!) and made a delicious Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal.

It’s easily mixed up and baked in advance for easy springs breakfast during the week.

This is a recipe where you can have your cake and prep it for breakfast, too, boo.

Blueberry Almond Protein Cookies

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Blueberry almond protein cookies made with almond butter, oats, and almond protein powder sweetened with banana and blueberries. Perfect for meal prep!

Yesterday I went to a coffee shop for the first time since last March.

After a “best coffee in VA” google search and a 20-minute drive, M and I found ourselves at local roastery gem.

The minute I opened the door the rich smells of coffee beans washed over me like seeing a long lost friend.

And then, I did see a long lost friend.

I was examining the whole coffee beans in colorful bags when suddenly my friend Walt was there, too.

Walt graduated from yoga teacher training in the same group as me, so, we’ve been through a journey together far before the world was on fire from COVID.

It felt surprising and fortuitous to see a familiar face during a global pandemic at a shop I only popped in by chance.

Life is funny.

He looked different with a mask and longer hair but the easy conversation was the same and we talked about yoga, hiking, and of course, coffee.

I just started drinking coffee, again, guys, which I told Walt with raised eyebrows.

Lately I love getting up 6 AM and sipping on warm dark roast coffee with a splash of almond milk.

You know what’s absolutely fantastic with coffee?

Something a little sweet.

These Blueberry Almond Protein Cookies are the best way to start your day with a burst of protein!

You bring the coffee and I’ll bring the cookie recipe.

Trail Mix Overnight Oats

Meal prep trail mix overnight oats naturally sweetened with maple syrup and topped with dried fruit, nuts, and nut butter. Perfect for make ahead breakfast!

How was your fourth of July?

Did you see any fireworks?

I spent Independence Day from the comfort of my own home with good food and good company.

The only fireworks I saw this year were the sparklers that lit up the asphalt on my neighborhood streets.

Every time we heard a bang I ran to the window, craning my neck left to right for any trace of glowing sky.

You’d be proud to know that I took the entire weekend off work to really relax and commemorate the red, white, and blue.

It’s honestly been hard to get back into the swing of things this week after a long holiday weekend.

This past Monday I woke up and had to take a few hours to center myself back into the work and kitchen mindset.

Can’t I just eat leftover watermelon and plant-based burgers all week?

Well, maybe…

But one of the things that always makes me feel more grounded and prepared is make ahead breakfast.

These Trail Mix Overnight Oats are so easy to mix up and top with my favorite trail mix blend of organic nuts and seeds!

Mango Blueberry Overnight Oats

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Easy overnight oats with old-fashioned rolled oats, fresh mango, blueberries, and a spoonful of SunButter. Perfect for summer workweek meal prep!

Last week I hung a rectangular printed canvas sign on my wall.

“Never Stop Exploring”, it reads.

All I did was press a push pin into the wall and steady the sign on it until it balanced, but it felt like a bold move.

My first intentional piece of artwork in my home.

Huzzah!

It’s funny how long I’ve gone with bare walls devoid of decorating.

To be honest, I’ve never been very confident in my indoor decorating choices.

Like, do I need a color scheme, a theme, a purpose, or do I just start throwing stuff on the walls?

I joked with a friend (who is amazing at decorating her home, I might add), that I need a design consultation. STAT.

Anyway, sometimes I catch glances of my sign while I’m eating breakfast in the morning.

Never stop exploring.

Are you ready to go exploring some new overnights oats?

These Mango Blueberry Overnight Oats are so easy to mix up in jars in advance with oats, fresh mango, and blueberries!

Apple Pecan Pie Oats with Sautéed Apples

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Apple pecan pie oatmeal bowls served with a sautéed apple pecan compote. Naturally sweetened with raisins, banana, and a touch of maple syrup.

I’ve been a bit nostalgic this past week, friends, remembering simpler times and the family reunions every summer growing up.

On my family’s annual trip to Indiana to visit extended family, we always stopped at Cracker Barrel before returning to the endless highway.

So I have one question for you.

Have you tried Cracker Barrel fried apples?

No?

Well, it’s one of the best sides on the menu.

Every member of my family ordered a side of fried apples with our entrees regardless of whether we stopped for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

These Apple Pecan Pie Oats with Sautéed Apples remind me of a much healthier spin off of that addictive southern comfort side.

And we could *all* use a little comfort food right now, right?

And, like at Cracker Barrel, at my house, you can “order” these apples to go all day long.

Golden Oats with Blueberries & Cashew Butter

By Flora & Vino 6 Comments

Golden oats with butternut squash and warming spices! Perfect for a cozy breakfast. Best served with fresh blueberries and a spoonful of cashew butter.

I have a small fridge that is constantly overflowing with all of my recipe creation leftovers, hummus containers, resealable bags of superfoods, and fresh produce.

If you open the door, be prepared for an avocado or a tomato or some sort of veg to come tumbling out.

Enter at your own risk.

Hardhats welcome.

In this case, I had a good amount of leftover butternut squash purée looking a bit forlorn and loveless.

And you know what we do with leftover veggies here at F&V…we show them all of the love.

These gorgeous Golden Oats with Blueberries & Cashew Butter taste just as good as they look.

Who’s ready to turn their breakfast into gold?
