How to Make Overnight Oats: no dairy
I wanted to share my recipe for how to make overnight oats with no dairy, therefore, means this recipe is suitable for a vegan diet or plant-based diet. A quick and easy overnight oats recipe that is a healthy breakfast option. I love this with chia and ground flaxseeds, made with soy milk and soy Greek yoghurt and rolled oats or porridge oats are fine if you don't mind a mushier texture. Serve with blueberries, then a sprinkle of sunflower and pumpkin seeds.

Sue Maree P Tips
- Quick oats are okay: only need an hour or less to soak. So you won't need to prepare them the night before.
- In winter I prefer room temperature and not cold oats, so I remove them from the fridge 30 minutes before. In summer this will not be necessary.
