9. High-Protein Peanut Butter, Banana & Blueberry Overnight Oats

These overnight oats pack 17 grams of protein per serving, thanks to Greek-style yogurt, peanut butter, and soymilk. We sweeten these oats naturally with banana, and add blueberries for more fruity flavor. Divide the mixture into Mason jars for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.

10. Apple-Pomegranate Overnight Oats

Apple-pomegranate overnight oats are a delicious and nutritious breakfast option that combines the natural sweetness of apples and pomegranates with fiber-rich oats. The tartness of pomegranates complements the sweet, crisp flavor of apples. For the best flavor and sweetness, consider using sweet apple varieties such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala.

Start your day with a breakfast that feels like a treat—these layered overnight oats offer a delightful blend of banana, cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla to elevate the taste. Right before enjoying, a finishing touch of crumbled graham crackers adds a pie-like charm to this easy breakfast. For the best results, use ripe bananas—their skin should be brown in spots and they should feel a little soft when you squeeze them.

13. Caramel Apple–Inspired Overnight Oats

This easy, meal-prep-friendly recipe takes all the flavors of a caramel apple and imparts them into breakfast. Applesauce ensures the texture is creamy yet light while also providing balance to the sweet-tart flavor of the oats.

Crushed honey-roasted peanuts mimic the coating of a caramel apple, but any salty-sweet nut would be delicious.

These overnight steel-cut oats are the ultimate make-ahead breakfast. Make a batch for the whole family, or store the extra servings in the fridge to eat throughout the week. We love these creamy steel-cut oats topped with honey, bananas, and raspberries, but any sweetener, chopped fruit, or nut topping will work well.

There's no better way to usher in fall than apple pie-inspired overnight oats in the morning. Prep and store this easy breakfast ahead of time to have on hand for busy work and school mornings. You can substitute any nondairy milk for the reduced-fat milk, or try kefir if you want your oats extra tangy.

16. High-Fiber Raspberry-Vanilla Overnight Oats

Get your day off to a healthy start with these raspberry-vanilla overnight oats. This grab-and-go breakfast delivers 8 grams of fiber, plus probiotics from kefir that may help support a healthy digestive system.
