I am a huge oatmeal fan. Oatmeal for breakfast or lunch is a regular staple for me. It’s super easy to throw together and keeps me full for hours. The only problem? During the summer months, I can’t bring myself to eat anything overly warm for breakfast.
Overnight oats are my go to during the warmer months, and I love that I can throw everything together the night before and just grab and go in the mornings.
I actually think overnight oats have a different texture than warm oatmeal. It’s creamier, thicker, and tastier in my opinion. I can see myself having overnight oats well into the chillier months ahead.
There are so many overnight oat recipes out there but chocolate cranberry overnight oats has been my favorite so far. It’s super simple to put together, and each ingredient is things I normally have in my pantry.
Chocolate Cranberry Overnight Oats
- 1/2 cup organic rolled oats
- 1 cup organic almond milk or any other non-dairy milk
- 1 tbsp dark chocolate cocoa powder
- 1 tsp organic agave or maple syrup
- 1 handful dried cranberries
- 1 handful organic toasted or shredded coconut for topping
Place oats and cocoa powder in an airtight container (I use mason jars) and mix well. Make sure the cocoa powder evenly covers the oats.
Add in the almond milk and agave syrup. Mix everything well.
Cover and store in fridge overnight.
Top with cranberries and toasted coconut and enjoy!

I have never heard of overnight oats before- what a cool concept. Usually my meals consist of whatever the little guy decides he doesn’t want… soggy cheerios, bites of toast, you know, the usual mommy-fare. I’d love to have something ready to go as I’m chasing him around the house! Thank you!

Yumm.. This looks so delicious! I have never tried overnight oats but now excited to make it!
It looks so yum and healthy breakfast! Can’t wait to try it!
This sounds so yummy. Looks good. You have almond milk and milk mentioned in your ingredients, but you don’t mention when to add the milk in the directions. Not sure if this is an error, but was wondering if your ratio is 1:2 or 1;4. 🙂
Step 2 is when you add the milk to the oats 🙂
looks so yummy!
thanks!
