Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 2 cups, unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk
- 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Paste
- 1 Tablespoon Real Maple Syrup
Directions
4 ingredient, sweet and creamy vanilla soaked oats!
This recipe is so easy to make, uses high quality ingredients and 100% vegan as I am using non-dairy milk.
Adding vanilla to desserts and sweet treats makes a lot of sense.
I love using vanilla paste as the vanilla taste is stronger and you can see the specks of vanilla!
The four ingredients used in this recipe are oats, non-dairy milk, vanilla and maple syrup.
If you are using sweetened non-dairy milk, I recommend skipping the maple syrup.
After mixing the ingredients, the vanilla soaked oats are refrigerated to soak.
If you are using old-fashioned rolled oats or steel cut oats, soaking time will be a bit longer.
This is why I prefer using quick oats or old-fashioned rolled oats that I quickly process in my food processor to make the oat pieces smaller.
Oats are one of the healthiest grains and consuming oats and oatmeal have many health benefits.
They are a good source of carbs and fiber, which makes it great for a healthy digestion and also keeps us fuller longer.
Oats also contain more protein and fat than most grains!
Soaked oats make for a great breakfast, snack or even dessert.
You can boost the nutritional value by adding fresh berries, chopped nuts or even seeds like chia and hemp.
Steps
1 Done | Mix Everything In a BowlAdd all of the ingredients to a bowl or large glass jug with a pour spout. Mix well to distribute the vanilla paste evenly. Pour the vanilla oat mixture into jars or bowls then cover, making sure it is air-tight, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes or overnight. |
2 Done | ServeI like to top my vanilla soaked oats with fruit, nuts or seeds. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. |

Hi, is the vanilla paste sweet enough on its own to leave out maple syrup if using dairy milk?
Hi Rachel! Though most vanilla paste’s do contain sugar, it’s a very small amount. That said, I personally don’t like it too sweet but prefer it with the maple syrup.
