Maple Brown Sugar Overnight Oats taste just like the classic Quaker instant oat packet, but better! Made with greek yogurt, old fashioned oats, pure maple syrup, and light brown sugar … these quick, simple, and healthy overnight oats are deliciously creamy. Place in jars, top with banana, and enjoy this perfect grab & go breakfast recipe!

Are these overnight oats healthy?

I am not a nutritionist or dietician, but in my opinion any oatmeal recipe is a healthy breakfast! So yes, Maple Brown Sugar Overnight Oats are a great choice.

These simple overnight oats are packed with protein from the greek yogurt and complex carbs from the oats. The oats themselves are whole grain and a great source of vitamins, minerals, & fiber too. Plus when you add fresh fruit and healthy fat sources (like nuts) on top of this oatmeal, it will keep you full for hours!

Ingredients needed for Maple Brown Sugar Overnight Oats…

Maple Brown Sugar Overnight Oats only require 6 simple ingredients! They’re healthy, wholesome, and ingredients you probably already have on hand.

Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt is the base of this overnight oats recipe! It adds protein and a deliciously creamy texture. You’ll need 1 cup plain greek yogurt!
Almond Milk: The choice of liquid in this recipe is almond milk. Add 1 1/4 cup! You could alternatively use a different milk of your choice.
Oats: Oats! The most important ingredient in overnight oats. 2 cups is the perfect amount!
Light Brown Sugar: I love the rich, deep flavor that light brown sugar gives these simple oats. Add 3 tbsp!
Pure Maple Syrup: To get that classic Quaker instant oat packet flavor, you’ll also need pure maple syrup in this recipe! 2 tbsp to be exact.
Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp of vanilla extract adds the perfect flavor here.
Salt: Lastly, add a sprinkle of salt to these oats. However much tastes good to you!

How to make these simple oats…

In my opinion, overnight oats are the easiest breakfast recipe you could ever make! You simply mix all the ingredients together and place in the fridge overnight. Or for a few hours! And that’s all you need to prepare a healthy, delicious, and satisfying breakfast for the entire week.

In a large mixing bowl combine the yogurt, almond milk, light brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. I recommend using a whisk!
Next add in the oats and a sprinkle of salt. Combine evenly.
Place in an airtight container in the fridge overnight or at least for a few hours.
When serving, add some toppings (fruit, nuts, nut butter, etc.) and enjoy!

Meal prepping Brown Sugar Overnight Oats…

Overnight oats are the perfect meal prep breakfast recipe! All you have to do is prepare the oats at the beginning of the week and keep in the fridge. Then you will have a satisfying, healthy, and delicious breakfast ready to go for the week ahead!

You could prepare this recipe in a large container and simply add to your bowl each morning, but I love to take things an extra step and separate into jars! It’s cute, functional, and makes this simple meal prep recipe even more of a grab & go friendly breakfast.

How to best enjoy Maple Overnight Oats…

I enjoy these overnight oats cold, straight out of the fridge! I love to add an extra oomph with banana slices, walnuts, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup or sprinkle of brown sugar. So delicious!

This recipe is also a great base for so many other flavors. You could add in nut butter, chocolate, different fruits … literally anything!

How to store Overnight Oats with Yogurt…

Store Maple Brown Sugar Overnight Oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for about 1 week!
