Making Overnight Oats with Frozen Fruit is the EASIEST vegan and gluten-free breakfast meal prep. All you need is 6 ingredients and your favorite frozen fruit to make this creamy, filling breakfast.
½cupfrozen fruit of your choiceI used mixed berries
Instructions
Combine all ingredients into a sealable container, such as a mason jar. If you are meal prepping, you may separate it into two separate, sealable containers.
Mix well ensuring the oats are thoroughly covered with the liquid mixture.
Add frozen fruit directly on top and place in the fridge overnight, but for at least 6 hours.
Remove top and mix the frozen fruit into the oat mixture. Because the fruit is frozen, it will defrost slightly, resulting in a small amount of excess water. This is normal and will mix into the oats easily.
Notes
Any fruit works for this recipe. I do recommend, however, using fruit or fruit chunks that are smaller in size due to the excess water that is released while defrosting happens.
You can top the overnight oats with more items after they sit in the fridge overnight. Some of my favorites are extra nut butter, granola and almonds.
Storage: The oats will stay in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Time saving hack: double or triple this recipe for a larger meal prep for the entire week.
