Ingredients

Scale

Overnight Oats

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup soy milk (or any unsweetened plant-based milk)
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 Tablespoon lemon zest (zest of 1 lemon)
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

Topping

  • 1/4 cup vegan lemon curd (plus more for topping as desired)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegan Lemon Curd (Optional): For best results, make the vegan lemon curd a day before preparing the oats to allow the flavors to develop fully.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup rolled oats and 2 Tablespoons chia seeds until well combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in 3/4 cup soy milk, 2 Tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 Tablespoon lemon zest, 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste. Stir everything together until it forms a thick batter.
  4. Layer Overnight Oats and Lemon Curd: Fill two jars about one-third full with the oat mixture. Spoon 1-2 Tablespoons of vegan lemon curd on top of the oats in each jar, then fill the jars with the remaining oat mixture until full.
  5. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jars and place them in the refrigerator overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and thicken.
  6. Serve: The following day, remove the jars from the fridge, add additional lemon curd or your favorite toppings if desired, and enjoy your refreshing lemon curd overnight oats!

Notes

  • Use any plant-based milk you prefer; almond or oat milk work well if soy milk is not available.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup according to your taste.
  • For added texture, consider topping with fresh berries, nuts, or coconut flakes before serving.
  • If you don’t have vegan lemon curd, a lemon jam or marmalade can be a quick substitute.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prep, as it keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
