hey y'all welcome back to Make It
Dairy Free I am Larisha and today we are
going to be sharing one of my favorite
things ever to make we are going to be
teaching you how to make overnight oats
(music)
so let me tell you about why I love
overnight oats every single morning we
have like 952 things to do what am I
gonna wear what are the kid's gonna wear
did you do your homework can you hurry up and go brush your teeth please why do you
not have any pants on where is my presentation board? why do you 
only have one shoe on did I pack my
lunch throw this in your lunchbox please
go get your shoes on please go get your
shoes on. why do you need a hundred
dollars what am i signing did I even
turn the crock-pot on yet crap we didn't
even eat breakfast yet all joking aside
mornings can be really hectic and
overnight oats take just five minutes to
prep at night and they are ready for you
in the morning
they are great whether you need to eat
on the go or whether you plan to sit
down they are right there ready and
waiting for you so today we are going to
show you three different ways to make
them the possibilities for toppings are
really endless for these and so let's
get right to it and show you how to make
them first up is our PB&J
oats all the recipes use some of the
same ingredients like rolled oats it's
important to mention that these are not
quick oats some flaxseed dairy free milk
you can use any dairy free milk for this
we like oat because it's creamier and
some maple syrup for the PB&J oats we
are also going to be using some fresh
strawberries you could also sub for some
strawberry jam and then peanut butter
use whatever is your favorite whether
it's creamy or crunchy now it's time to
roll all this together
you literally are just going to pour all
your ingredients into a large jar or
bowl something with a lid so there's
less mess to clean up when you're done
mixing we personally like to add all the
dry ingredients first and then our wet
ingredients but it literally doesn't
matter it's all getting stirred together
in the end. it may seem like a lot
of milk goes into this but the oats
really soak it up as a
able to sit overnight if you are using a
mason jar like we do in the video it's
best to use a widemouth jar that way
when you are eating it it doesn't get
all over your hands I mean we are trying
to appear a little civilized here once
you have all your ingredients in you are
going to stir this really well I mean
really well really take your time and
get to the bottom of the jar and get
everything combined and those flavors
mingling when you feel like you have
everything together you are going to
place this in the fridge overnight eight
hours is ideal but it could be ready in
four if needed
meaning if you wanted to make these in
the morning for your lunch they would be
ready to eat we just like letting those
ingredients marry together a little bit
longer it's really that easy to make a
filling and delicious breakfast on the
go
next up is banana bread overnight
oats we are using the same base
ingredients here except we're swapping
that peanut butter and jelly for a
banana walnuts cinnamon and nutmeg you
want to use a ripe banana they are
sweeter and mash much easier if you have
one sitting on your counter just
screaming to be used and not tossed into
the compost because you let it sit too
long hurry up and make this you want to
mash the banana well and then that's
going to go into your jar with the oats
flax seed and some cinnamon nutmeg as
well as some walnuts. walnuts are
completely optional if you have a nut
allergy or just don't like them feel
free to omit this ingredient similar to
how you'd omit it if making actual
banana bread again really make sure that
you get to the bottom and get all those
ingredients stirred together and
combined really well for the best
experience one thing we do want to
mention is that all the recipes in the
video are doubled in the jars a typical
serving is half the amount that you see
if you're someone who likes to meal prep
or even if you work from home all these
recipes you can make at one time and
they will last three to four days in the
fridge making your breakfast even easier
last up is our dark chocolate peanut
butter overnight oats again same base
ingredients here but our new ingredient
is cocoa powder one note about the
peanut butter in this one and the peanut
butter and jelly one is that if you're
allergic to peanuts you can swap out for
another nut butter like almond or cashew
or even Sun butter if you're allergic to
all nuts
another fun addition for this one would
be some vegan chocolate hazelnut spread
for an even chocolat-tee-er..uhh more chocolaty
flavor for any of these you can taste a
bit after you stir and add more maple
syrup to sweeten to your own taste buds
it's fun to top these with your favorite
ingredients some of ours include fresh
fruit like banana slices fresh
strawberries or Kiwi vegan chocolate
chips or cacao nibs chia seeds hemp
seeds or even coconut flakes the
possibilities are really endless
don't add these toppings until you are
ready to eat so if you're eating on the
go make sure to put your toppings in a
separate smaller container this helps to
make sure the toppings don't get soggy
especially if adding things like chia
seeds or banana slices or chopped nuts
to on the top thanks so much for
watching this video we really hope you
enjoyed these ideas make sure to give it

share and comment below with your
favorite overnight oats topping ideas or

we'll see you soon
