Ingredients And Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Cranberry Overnight Oats. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.

Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats – Stick with rolled oats for the best texture—quick oats can get too mushy, and steel-cut oats won’t soften enough.

Ground Flax – Adds a subtle texture that blends perfectly into the oats.

Chia Seeds – Help thicken the oats and give them a creamy consistency.

Cinnamon – A touch of warmth that makes everything taste cozier.

Milk of Choice – Use almond, coconut, cashew, oat, or dairy milk—just note that dairy milk won’t keep the recipe vegan.

Maple Syrup – Use pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup. Honey, agave, or date syrup also work as sweeteners.

Vanilla Extract – Enhances the flavor and brings everything together.

Cranberry Sauce – Use leftover cranberry sauce or try my homemade cranberry sauce (which also happens to be amazing in crumb bars!).

Yogurt (Optional) – Gives the oats a pie-like flavor—use dairy-free or regular plain yogurt, whichever you prefer!

How To Make

ONE: In a jar with a lid, combine the dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated.

TWO: Add in the almond milk, vanilla extract and maple syrup last and mix once more. Cover and store in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight.

THREE: The next day, stir the oats well and then layer accordingly, or just top with cranberry sauce and yogurt and enjoy!

Tips And Tricks

Add cranberry sauce after the oats have soaked otherwise they will turn pink, but will still taste amazing!

Layer the oats in a new jar if you want them to look pretty! Start by adding some of the oats, then yogurt, then cranberry sauce, and repeat!

How To Serve And Store

Serve these Cranberry Overnight Oats cold and enjoy with some yogurt for a sweet and tart flavor.

Oats can also be warmed up the next day if preferred. Warm them in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Taste And Texture
