What are Overnight Oats?
Overnight oats are a no-cook method of preparing oatmeal by soaking rolled oats in liquid — usually milk or yoghurt — overnight. The oats absorb the liquid, soften, and develop a creamy texture by morning. They can be customised endlessly with flavours and toppings, making them a versatile breakfast option for any taste or diet.

How to Make Chocolate and Raspberry Protein Overnight Oats
See recipe card for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
To start, mix the rolled oats, cocoa powder, chocolate whey protein, and salt in a bowl until fully combined. Pour in the milk and stir until all the oats are coated, then either layer the raspberries on top or stir them through for even flavour.
Transfer the mixture to a container with a lid and refrigerate overnight. By morning, the oats will be soft, creamy, and infused with the rich cocoa and tart raspberry flavours. Give them a quick stir before eating, and enjoy straight from the fridge or after resting for a few minutes at room temperature.
Tips
- Mix well: Ensures no lumps of cocoa or protein powder remain.
- Use frozen raspberries: They hold their shape better overnight and release juice as they thaw.
- Choose the right container: Airtight containers keep the oats fresh and prevent the top layer from drying out.
- Adjust sweetness: Add sweetener if your protein powder isn’t very sweet.
- Batch prep: Make multiple servings to save time during the week.
Recipe Variations & Substitutions
- Milk: Swap semi-skimmed for almond, oat, or coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
- Fruit: Try blueberries, strawberries, or cherries instead of raspberries.
- Nut butter: Add a swirl of peanut or almond butter for richness.
- Texture boost: Sprinkle with chia seeds, granola, or cacao nibs before serving.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The oats will soften more over time, and the flavours will become even more pronounced.
