Can I use water instead of milk for Overnight Oats? You can use water instead of milk for overnight oats but we don’t recommend it. If you can’t have dairy milk, nondairy milk will work in overnight oats.
How to make Cinnamon Apple Overnight Oats
Note: I prefer my breakfasts to be lower in sugar, so this might not be sweet enough for your tastes. You can add more maple syrup or fruit to taste!
- Pour all ingredients into a mason jar or sealable container.
- Shake/stir until all ingredients are mixed. Place oats in the refrigerator to chill overnight.
- When ready to eat, enjoy hot or cold.
Substitutions
Rolled Oats: I have not tried this recipe with quick cook oats. I think it would work, but they might get soggier quicker. I wouldn’t recommend it. Irish/Steel Cut Oats will not work in this recipe. If you need a Steel Cut Oats recipe, we love these Baked Steel Cut Oats– this is the one we love!
Greek Yogurt: You can substitute greek yogurt with non-dairy yogurt if you’d like.
Milk: You can substitute almond milk for any kind of milk (dairy, oat, rice, etc). Any kind will work!
Apples: You can try other fruit in this recipe! Pears would be just as delicious. We also have a Pumpkin Overnight Oats recipe that’s delicious.
Sweetener: If you’d like to substitute honey for maple syrup or agave you can. I prefer my breakfasts to be lower in sugar, so this might not be sweet enough for your tastes. You can add more maple syrup or fruit to taste!
Serving Suggestions
Do you eat Overnight Oats cold or hot? You can enjoy apple pie overnight oats warm or cold. I prefer to enjoy them warm and pop them in the microwave for 1 minute.
You could add in extra toppings like chopped apples (or the apple topping from this apple oatmeal recipe), chia seeds, other nuts/seeds, or serve with:
- egg muffin cups if you want a balanced on-the-go meal
- potato crust quiche or sausage egg casserole
Storage
Fridge: We recommend prepping/storing these overnight oats for no more than 5 days in the fridge.
As the days go on, the oats will get softer. For best results, prep 24 hours in advance!
Freezing: We don’t recommend freezing this recipe. The oats can get soggy. It’s best to make and enjoy these oats fresh.
Reheating: You can reheat this recipe in the microwave or on the stove.

Yes, overnight oatmeal is delicious with fruit in it.
Overnight Oatmeal is a healthy breakfast option, however, it is not any healthier than regular oatmeal. It has the same calories and nutrition facts.
