There is no shortage of creamy overnight oats recipes on my blog, and I have something for all of your cravings. Do you want a dessert-like breakfast? Try Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnights or Peanut Butter Overnight Oats. Or maybe you want something more fruity? Try this Blueberry Overnight Oats, Cherry Overnight Oats, or this Raspberry Overnight Oats.
When readers ask me to pick a favorite overnight oatmeal recipe, Raspberry Overnight Oats is close to the top. I love the slight tart flavor of the raspberries mixed with sweet maple syrup; all curled up with creamy cold oats topped with crunchy almonds. It’s one of the best!
Reasons you’ll love this recipe.
- Easy to make. Mix the ingredients into a mason jar and store them in the fridge; that’s it!
- Simple ingredients. It’s likely you have all of the ingredients in your pantry to make this overnight oats with raspberries.
- Healthy. Each jar of oatmeal contains 11 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein, and it’s also gluten-free and vegan! If you’re looking to use overnight oats to lose weight, this is a great recipe!
- Meal prep champion. In less than 10 minutes, breakfast is ready for the week. Overnight oats is one of the best meal prep oatmeal recipes.
Ingredients
Here are all of the ingredients you need to make this delicious raspberry overnight oats recipe.
- Rolled oats or old-fashioned oats are the preferred oat for making overnight oats. You don’t want quick oats because the result will be mushy oatmeal. Steel-cut oats need too long to process and end up crunchy. If you have a gluten allergy or sensitivities, please use gluten-free certified rolled oats.
- Unsweetened coconut milk, almond milk, or any dairy-free milk will work. You can also use dairy milk.
- Frozen raspberries or fresh raspberries both work in this recipe. I prefer frozen because I love the juices that release into the oatmeal as it thaws, and it’s cheaper to purchase organic frozen raspberries over fresh ones.
- Chia seeds are my go-to superfood for all overnight oat recipes because they add omega- 3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. They also give the oatmeal a delicious pudding-like texture.
- Pure maple syrup balances out the tart flavor of the raspberries.
- Sliced almonds for crunch and protein.

Supplies

How to Make Raspberry Overnight Oats
- Add the rolled oats and chia seeds to a 16-mason jar container. Of course, you can use any container with a lid (I recommend glass), but mason jars are my favorite.
- Stir in the milk and raspberries to the oat mixture. You want to make sure the oats are submerged in the milk completely. If you need to add a little more liquid, then do so.
- Place the lid on and stick the overnight oats in the refrigerator for 5 hours or overnight.
- The next morning give the oatmeal a couple of stirs and add the maple syrup. This raspberry oats recipe requires more maple syrup than I use in other overnight oat recipes because raspberries can have a tart flavor.
- After you stir in the maple syrup, add a couple of splashes of milk to the oats if they seem thick. Do this until you get the consistency you want. Pour into a bowl or eat straight from the jar.
- Sprinkle with sliced almonds and extra raspberries. I prefer to add the nuts in the morning to prevent them from getting soggy soaking in the liquid all night.
Cooking Tips
- Swap in honey or your favorite natural sweetener for the maple syrup.
- Make a raspberry chocolate overnight oats by stirring in one tablespoon of cacao powder or a couple of teaspoons of mini chocolate chips.
- For another layer of flavor stir in a splash of pure vanilla extra or almond extract.
- Use any of your favorite nuts or leave them out if you prefer not to use them. Or sprinkle with homemade almond butter granola for an extra crunch.
- Any dairy or non-dairy milk can be substituted. I don’t recommend using water or juice.
- Chia seeds add to the creamy texture to the raspberry almond overnight oats, but you can swap in or use extra superfoods to bulk up the nutrition. Flaxseeds or hemp hearts both work in oatmeal recipes.
- Stir in a tablespoon of greek yogurt for a raspberry cheesecake flavor and extra protein.
- A tablespoon of almond butter, peanut butter, or any nut butter is delicious!
- You can stir in a tablespoon of raspberry jam for an extra layer of raspberry flavor, but be careful of the extra sugar and calories.
- Of course, you can swap in strawberries, blackberries, or any of your favorite berries.
- For a burst of fresh flavor stir in lemon rest or lemon juice. Or for a warmer flavor use cinnamon or other fall spices.
Storage tips
You can prepare up to five jars of raspberry overnight oats and store them in the refrigerator for breakfast all week. As the oats sit in the fridge, they will become thick, so you’ll likely need to add a few splashes of milk to loosen the oats until you get the consistency you want. Don’t worry; this does not change the flavor.
You can also freeze overnight oats ahead of time into kits, and this is a great way to ensure you have the ingredients ready ahead of time. To learn more, check out my how-to freeze overnight oats tutorial.

This is a great tutorial! I love oatmeal, and I haven’t made overnight oatmeal in a long time….until I came across your pin! I just finished off a blueberry vanilla jar I made with unsweetened almond milk and walnuts, and I have forgotten how much I love these! In fact, I am going to bust out the pint jars and get them ready to start whipping this up more often! Thank you for posting a very simple “How To” recipe that can be modified so easily!P.S. I never thought of adding chia seeds, but I threw some in the one I just ate and so glad I did! Doesn’t affect the flavor, but bumps the nutritional value!!!

When I enter this recipe into my fitness pal the calories always come out over 400. Usually almost 500. How are you getting the calories so low on yours?

I don’t have any mason jars, can I use something else?

Can you use skim milk instead of the coconut milk and it still turn out?

Tammy Kresge says
yes that should work fine. I have used all different kinds of milks.

Can I use something other than mason jars, I don’t have any?
Megan says
When you enter it into MFP make sure you use the right kind of coconut milk. If you use the canned coconut milk then it is 500+ but if you use the coconut milk that comes in a carton then it is 300+.

Tammy Kresge says
Yes I use the carton in the dairy section. Thank you!

just tried your raspberry overnight oats and love them. I have another jar in refrigerator. In the comments someone posted over 500 calories? Please tell me it is still only 300+ calories. Even that seems high. I have been on a pumpkin kick and love those overnight oats for only 254 calories. I wll be trying blueberry next.. And to answer some of the other question, I find cold gross so I put them in the microwave to warm them a bit. They are delicious! Thanks for all these recipes Tammy.

I just plugged these ingredients into MyFitness Pal’s recipe box and it calculated that the calories were 517, not 322? Can you tell me how you calculated the calories for this? I just want to make sure I’m logging the correct amount of calories.

Hannah says
I just did the same thing- only have oats and milk and its 356…

Tammy Kresge says
Hey there. Not sure why that is happening. I just made a whole new recipe in MFP to recalculate and I got 328 calories per jar. It really depends on the brand you choose or if you added too many servings for an ingredient. Hope that helps.
Sara says
I just tried this recipe as my first attempt ever at overnight oats, and now I am kicking myself for having not tried this before! They were delicious! I did swap out the almonds for walnuts because they were too hard to find but I still loved it! Thanks so much!Reply
Beverly says
I do overnight oats all the time. I do use brown sugar, but not much. I just soak mine in water overnight. The next morning I nuke them for 1 minute. Then I add the brown sugar, 1 T chopped walnuts, a dash of skim milk (about 1/4 C) and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Do you not heat yours at all? The idea of cold oatmeal sounds really gross to me.

Karen says
I’m a big texture person so new recipes that sit are hard. Is this like an oatmeal texture with crunch? Can you eat it cold or maybe warmed a little? Hoping the answer is yes?
Reply
Denise Prevost says
Sounds good, do you eat that cold? Could it be warmed up, like a warm breakfast? Thanks

What size mason jar for overnight oats?
Reply
Tanya says
Pint size jars work best. The jars are only about 1/2 – 3/4 full depending on the variety but it gives you room for stirring without spilling! 🙂

Lori Faas says
Ok…I am intrigued. I have become such a good lunch eater since I have discovered your mason jar salads. I also am a HORRIBLE breakfast eater. I do not like to sit and eat at home. I like to eat at my desk in my classroom while I am getting things done. I may try these overnight oats and I am looking forward to the tutorial!
