Salted Caramel Overnight Oats Recipe

4.5 from 67 reviews

Salted Caramel Overnight Oats offer a deliciously sweet and salty twist on a classic make-ahead breakfast. Combining creamy milk, hearty oats, rich caramel sauce, and a pinch of salt, this no-cook recipe is perfect for a quick, indulgent morning meal that you prepare the night before.

Ingredients

Scale

Oats

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

Milk

  • 1/2 cup milk (whole, low-fat, or plant-based)

Caramel Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce

Seasoning

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, milk, caramel sauce, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure the caramel sauce is evenly distributed and the oats are fully immersed in the milk.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 6-8 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
  3. Serve: The next morning, give the oats a quick stir, and you can enjoy them cold or warm them slightly if preferred. Optionally, add additional toppings like nuts or fruit for extra texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture; instant oats can become mushy.
  • Adjust the amount of caramel sauce to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet version.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute the milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
  • Experiment with adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a tablespoon of chia seeds for added nutrition.
