Description

This Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Overnight Oats recipe is a refreshing and nutritious breakfast option that’s easy to prepare. Combining quick oats with zesty lemon juice and zest, poppy seeds, and creamy non-dairy yogurt, it offers a perfect balance of tart and sweet flavors. Simply mix the ingredients, refrigerate overnight, and enjoy a creamy, flavorful meal packed with fiber and plant-based protein, ideal for a busy morning or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup quick oats
  • ¾-1 cup non-dairy milk (almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk recommended)
  • ¼ cup non-dairy yogurt (such as coconut or soy-based yogurt)

Flavorings

  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey if not strictly vegan)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the quick oats, non-dairy milk, poppy seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, non-dairy yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl or a tupperware container. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill and absorb the liquids for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the oats to soften and thicken into a creamy consistency.
  3. Serve and Enjoy: Before serving, stir the oats once more to combine any separated liquid. Enjoy the oats plain or topped with fresh blueberries and extra non-dairy yogurt for added creaminess and flavor.

Notes

  • Use maple syrup to keep the recipe fully vegan; honey is optional for those not strictly vegan.
  • You can substitute quick oats with rolled oats but soak longer for desired texture.
  • Add fresh berries, nuts, or seeds as toppings for variety and extra nutrients.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a bit more non-dairy milk before serving.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to serve multiple people or for meal prep.
