Helpful Tools
To make vegan brownie overnight oats, you’ll need a mixing bowl and jars or airtight containers for storing the individual servings. A spoon for stirring and measuring cups/spoons may also come in handy. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can use a blender to combine the ingredients instead of a mixing bowl.
How To Make This Vegan Brownie Overnight Oats
Making vegan brownie overnight oats is incredibly easy! To get started, simply add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir until everything is well combined.
Once the ingredients are mixed together, separate the mixture into 4 jars or airtight containers.
This meal prep recipe is designed to make 4 servings, so be sure to portion accordingly.
After you’ve divided the mixture into the jars, put them in the fridge and let them sit for at least 8 hours. This will give the oats and chia seeds time to absorb the liquid and create a delicious, creamy texture.
When you’re ready to enjoy your vegan brownie overnight oats, simply take them out of the fridge and dig in!
The beauty of this recipe is that you can enjoy it straight from the fridge, with no heating required. It’s the perfect grab-and-go breakfast for busy mornings or lazy weekends.
