Do You Eat Overnight Oats Hot Or Cold?

When it comes to eating your overnight oats, you have two options. You can either eat your oats cold or heat them in a microwave.

Eating your oats cold is the easiest and quickest way to eat them because you can simply take them out of the fridge and get stuck in them. However, hot overnight oats taste even better.

All you have to do to heat your overnight oats is place them in the microwave in 30-second intervals. After 30 seconds, stir your oats and turn the microwave on again. Stop when your oats are hot enough.

Ingredients for Coconut Mixed Berry Overnight Oats

If you’re ready to give this recipe a try, here’s what you’ll need:

• Quick Cooking Oats: ½ cup
• Frozen Mixed Berries: ½ cup
• Unsweetened Coconut Milk: ½ cup
• Maple Syrup: 1 to 2 teaspoons, to taste
• Vegan Yogurt: 2 tablespoons (choose a coconut, almond, or soy-based option)
• Unsweetened Coconut Flakes: 1 tablespoon

How to Make Coconut Mixed Berry Overnight Oats

This recipe is incredibly easy to follow, with just three simple steps—one of which involves letting your oats sit in the fridge overnight. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Combine the Base Ingredients

Begin by combining your oats, coconut milk, and maple syrup. Use a small to medium-sized jar (around 16 ounces) for the perfect portion size. Add the oats, milk, and syrup into the jar and stir thoroughly until everything is well combined.

Step 2: Add the Toppings

Next, top the oat mixture with your vegan yogurt and frozen mixed berries. This step is customizable, so feel free to add any extra ingredients you like for added flavor and texture (more topping ideas are listed below).

Step 3: Refrigerate Overnight

Once you’ve added your toppings, seal the jar and place it in the fridge. To keep your oats fresh, store them on a clean shelf, away from strong-smelling items. Let the oats sit overnight so the flavors meld and the oats soften.

In the morning, sprinkle the coconut flakes on top just before serving.

The Best Vegan Toppings for Overnight Oats

While this recipe is topped with coconut flakes and mixed berries, you can mix and match toppings to suit your taste. Here are some vegan-friendly options to inspire your creations:

• Seeds: Add chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp seeds for a boost of protein, healthy fats, and crunch.
• Nuts: Top your oats with chopped walnuts, almonds, pecans, or cashews for added texture and flavor.
• Nut Butter: Drizzle almond, peanut, or cashew butter for creamy, nutty goodness.
• Fruits: Fresh banana slices, diced mango, or a handful of pomegranate seeds make excellent additions.
• Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle some vegan dark chocolate chips for a touch of sweetness and indulgence.
• Cocoa Powder: Mix in cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist. Be sure to stir it thoroughly for even distribution.
