Overnight oats with cranberry

November 14, 2024

Cranberry overnight oats are the perfect solution for anyone short on time in the morning, as they’re made the night before. How to make overnight oats? It’s effortless – in the evening, mix all the ingredients, and add cranberries and a small amount of white chocolate. That’s it! In the morning, just take it out of the fridge and you’re ready to go.

I usually prepare a double portion of these oats so they last for two days. I store them in glass jars, which don’t take up much space in the fridge and, in my opinion, are much more convenient. They definitely beat plastic containers!

Why should you try overnight oats?

Adding skyr yoghurt means these oats contain a good amount of protein alongside carbohydrates, making them a perfect choice for anyone looking to start the day with something healthy and filling. Fresh cranberries, a seasonal favourite, are packed with vitamin C and antioxidants – just what you need at this time of year. A small amount of white chocolate is optional, but it pairs wonderfully with the tartness of the cranberries. I recommend trying this version!

Overnight oats – can you add other fruits?

Absolutely! Both fresh and cooked fruits (like a fruit compote) go wonderfully with these oats – how about blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries? You can also try adding seasonal apples or pears sautéed with a pinch of cinnamon.

Oatmeal doesn’t have to be unhealthy – with the right ingredients, it can become a nutritious and satisfying breakfast. Adding protein, like skyr yoghurt or protein powder, provides you with energy and essential nutrients. If you're in the mood for more inspiration, be sure to check out the recipe below:
