What are overnight oats?

Basically, Overnight Oats are a no-cook method of making oatmeal. They’re made simply by oats absorbing in liquid during the night.

You can use pretty much any kind of oats, although traditional rolled oats are often preferred because they absorb the liquid faster but still retain the texture than quick oats and give a semi-solid texture.

As to the toppings, they’re highly customizable. Any fresh fruit like bananas, mixed berries, mangoes, dried fruit like dried cranberries or apricots…etc.

ingredients for passionfruit overnight oats

Rolled Oats – If you’re on a strict gluten-free diet, you need to choose certified oats. While traditional rolled oats are the most common type of oat to use, you can also use quick oats. (Steel-cut oats are not suitable for overnight oats).

Passionfruit Pulp– I use canned passionfruit pulp. Passionfruit has a sweet and tart flavor and lemon-like fragrance. Inside passionfruit are sacs that are filled with juice and small black seeds. This juice mixture is known as pulp. If you haven’t tried passion fruit yet, it is time to bring some home. You won’t be disappointed with what passionfruit has to offer! While fresh fruits are always better, for a cheaper option, you can use canned passionfruit pulp.

Plant-based Milk – basically you can use any type of non-dairy milk. You can use coconut milk, soy milk, almond milk, macadamia milk, or cashew milk…etc

Mixed toasted nuts– here I use almond flakes, pumpkin seeds, and desiccated coconut.

Dried Fruits– I use dried cranberries. You can use other dried fruits including sultanas, raisins, currants, strawberries, and white mulberries.
