A quick and simple breakfast of vegan overnight oats to the rescue! I've paired these easy overnight oats with a homemade strawberry chia jelly / jam and creamy nut butter. A gluten free, dairy free and easy to make breakfast!

Just wanted to let you know this overnight oats recipe is sponsored by my friends at One Degree Organics!

What's so awesome about these overnight oats?

Now if I know anything about wanting to keep breakfast easy and quick *and I think I do,* it's time to listen up.

Since summer is basically here in Southern California, I've been wanting to eat fun, fruit-filled breakfast dishes just like these overnight oats.

What's pretty incredible about this recipe is that it can easily double up as a snack or dessert.

I decided to whip up some homemade strawberry chia seem jam / jelly to pair with these oats, and boy was that a mighty fine idea. These ended up turning into a PB&J rendition, and it is so darn delicious!

You could make this jam with blueberries, blackberries or raspberries, and it would be fabulous, too.

Ingredients you will need

ingredients to make vegan overnight oats: rolled oats, maple syrup, chai seeds, vanilla extract, chia seeds, non-dairy milk, nut butter

You don't need much to churn out this fabulous overnight oats recipe.

Feel free to use your favorite nut butter and non-dairy milk. My go to's are: unsweetened vanilla almond milk and cashew butter, but you can use whatever you have on hand.

The chia seeds make for a really lovely end texture, so don't skip out on those!

What kind of toppings can I use in these overnight oats?

Extra chia seeds, hemp seeds or flax seeds
Coconut yogurt
Fresh berries
Extra nut butter and/or jam
Dark chocolate shavings
Raw or roasted nuts
Toasted coconut flakes

I highly recommend making the homemade jam for these overnight oats recipe. They elevate the recipe ten-fold, and it really does come together quite quickly.

Feel free to get your hands on some store-bought jam or jelly if you don't feel like taking this step though.

Why try and use sprouted oats?

I decided to team up with One Degree Organics on these vegan overnight oats because I really love the fact that their oat line is all sprouted. What does this mean? Well,

Grains sprout when they are given the proper amount of moisture and are kept at the correct temperature.

A sprouted grain has basically begun to grow into a new plant *but just barely!*

Sprouted gluten free oats are basically able to unleash their superpowers.

They boast more nutrients and are easy to digest. Let's call that a win, shall we??!

This is the homemade strawberry chia jam / jelly that I've been referencing.

It is so darn easy to make, and you will have plenty leftover for using on toast, yogurt parfaits & in smoothies all week long.

You can absolutely cut the chia jam recipe in half if you'd like / know you won't go through all of the leftovers. I simply love having jam in the refrigerator at all times... especially when it's homemade!

Anyway,

Be sure to give these vegan overnight oats a try! They make a perfect grab-and-go breakfast or breakfast accompaniment during the week when you just don't have extra time.

I think I am going to try my hand at making these again with blueberries and coconut butter (instead of almond butter!) That ingredient combination sounds like a real stunner to me, don't you agree?

How to make vegan overnight oats

In a large glass bowl or Tupperware container, add non-dairy milk, chia seeds, almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir well with a spoon to combine.

Add the oats and give it another good stir.

Be sure the oats are completely submerged in the liquid in order to ensure an even setting process.

Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and let it set in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 4-6 hours!)

When it is ready, give it another good stir and serve with extra almond butter (if you'd like) and homemade strawberry jam.
