    About Brown Sugar Overnight Oats

    Maple Brown Sugar Overnight Oats is a healthy energy-packed no-cook breakfast prepared with old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, maple syrup, and a few more simple ingredients.

    All you have to do is to mix the ingredients in a bowl and let them soak for a few hours and your healthy and filling breakfast is ready.

    You can double or triple the recipe and meal prep it. Transfer the oats to individual serving mason jars. You can now just grab one jar and have it on the go.

    These overnight oatmeal with brown sugar are also great as a mid-day snack or a healthy dessert.

    This easy overnight oats recipe is also gluten-free and vegetarian and can be easily made vegan.

    Ingredients

    Brown sugar overnight oats ingredients 1

    Old Fashioned Oats (Rolled Oats) – Old-fashioned oats are perfect to make overnight oats as they soak up the flavor well without getting mushy.

    Instant oats (quick oats) also work fine but they get mushy very soon. So if you want to meal prep this recipe, then they are not recommended.

    I would not recommend steel cut oats, as they take a longer time to become soft.

    Brown Sugar – I like to use dark brown sugar but you can use light brown sugar too.

    Maple Syrup – It gives a refreshing taste to the oats. You can adjust it to your liking.

    Plain Yogurt – It gives a very subtle tanginess to overnight oats. You can also use Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.

    Milk – Milk is used to soak oats. I personally like to use whole milk (full-fat milk) as it makes the overnight oatmeal creamy but you can use any type of milk you like.

    Use skim or low-fat milk if you want a low-calorie breakfast.

    If you want to make the recipe vegan, then skip dairy yogurt and dairy milk and use any plant-based yogurt and milk like coconut milk, oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk.

    Cinnamon – It gives a spicy, sweet, and woody flavor.

    Vanilla Extract – Use the best quality one.

    Chia Seeds are optional, but they add to the creamy texture of overnight oats.

    How To Make Brown Sugar Overnight Oats

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve these overnight oats with brown sugar on their own as a healthy breakfast on busy mornings or mid-day snacks.

    I like to top these with chopped pecans, some brown sugar, and a sprinkling of ground cinnamon.

    You can top them with your favorite fruits such as strawberries, other berries, or bananas.

    Add in some granola, seeds, toasted flax seeds, or nuts to add a nice bite to the creamy oats.

    Nut butter like almond butter, peanut butter, and pistachio butter are also great for topping overnight oats.

    Storage Suggestions

    Brown Sugar Cinnamon Overnight Oats can be stored in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Use a clean and dry airtight container to store them.

    You can also transfer the oats into individual serving mason jars and just grab one jar whenever the hunger strikes.
