Making this tonight. I have used many of your recipes. Never had one my family did not enjoy
That’s amazing news! Thanks so much for sharing. This overnight oatmeal is the one recipe I make over and over again. I love overnight oatmeal. It’s the perfect for portion control. I hope you’re family loves this recipe as much as I do! 🙂
/This sounds delicious .
Thanks Linda, It’s one of my favorites!
This sounds so amazing!! I’m having this this week but will substitute stevia for the sugar
That sounds like a good and tasty plan Cherie. This is one of my favorite overnight oatmeal recipes. Enjoy!
I love oatmeal but I would never thought of adding pineapple, thanks.
Hi Fernanda, I have several overnight oatmeal recipes but this one is the recipe I love the most!
It was sour the next day because of the pineapple and yogurt
I’m not sure what you mean by that Adria. I’ve never had that problem. Did you use a sour flavored yogurt?
This happened to me too, I used fresh pineapple, no sugar, and plain yogurt but added vanilla and almond extract. The next day it’s sour and bitter. I make overnight oats all the time but have never used pineapple or yogurt. So weird and such a let down since I made 4 jars for the week 🙁
It must have something to do with the fresh pineapple Ashley. I only use canned and this has never happened to me. I’m sorry you lost all that oatmeal. This is one of my favorite recipes. I hope you will try it again with canned pineapple.
Glad this was brought up I’d definitely would’ve used fresh pineapple also😬
I know Nancy….so weird. I’m going to try it and see if it does the same thing to me.
Made these again tonight. So delicious!! Love love love! I used plain yogurt since that’s all i had and added lil extra vanilla. Came out so good. Any idea of the calorie intake? Thanks for sharing : )
Hi Heidi, This is one of my favorites….sorry I don’t have a calorie count.
I can’t say enough how good this is! The cherries really make the whole thing for me, which is a bit strange since last time I had the actual cake (it has been years) I was really unhappy with the cherries… Anyway, I’m trying to replace the yogurt with vanilla protein powder since I already eat yogurt every breakfast and I don’t adapt well to change. I wasn’t completely satisfied with what I got this week (just using 1 T) so I guess I’ll just have to try again next week! Aw shucks. (Those cherries would end up sitting in my fridge forever otherwise, too.) Thanks so much for the recipe! I’ll let you know how next week’s version goes.
Thanks Sherwood! Yes…I’m curious to know if you can get the protein powder to work. By the way….this is my favorite overnight oatmeal recipe too!
Thanks for the recipe! This was yummy!
Thanks Rose! I love it too!
I always get a craving for a “sweet bready” treat in the afternoon at work. I now have my answer! Woohoo!
PS: For the lady who said it was sour – yes it will be if you use plain yogurt and skip the brown sugar. YIKES!
Yes Anna, You have to use vanilla yogurt and brown sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Can you heat this up so it’s warm or hot?
Sure Roxy! It’s delicious any way you choose to eat it. ♥
This looks so good! What a great breakfast meal prep for the whole family!
Thanks Suzanne! It’s my favorite breakfast. ♥
Thanks for sharing! Do you use this base for any other overnight oat recipes?
Hi Vanessa, Most of my overnight recipes have the same base. Search Overnight Oatmeal to find them all.
Great Recipe! Really liked it. I used unsweetened almond milk for the milk. Calculated this recipe for weight watchers freestyle. It was 8 points per serving, if you divide it into 5 servings like the recipe calls to.
That’s awesome Whitney. Sometimes I use almond milk too. It’s really tasty!
Wow! Definitely a new favorite breakfast for us! I veganized using vanilla coconut yogurt and oat milk. And used a can of crushed pineapple instead of chunks. Delicious! Thank you!!!
That’s awesome Angie. It’s one of my favorites too.
Thank you, we love it!
That’s awesome Donna!
I’m not a fan of the chia seeds or flaxseed. Can I leave them out?
Hi Julie, Yes, they’re for added nutrition not flavor.
