I have made these so many times and they are so good. I, usually, do not have yogurt on hand so I just use more nut milk in place of it. My favorite toppings now are blueberries, coconut flakes and cocao nibs. I will sometimes add a little bit of chia seeds, too.

In reply to Britt. Yes, absolutely! Feel free to add a scoop of collagen or protein powder to overnight oats.

Hi Lisa!

Weird question. Do you think I could add a scoop of flavorless collagen to these and still get a good result? I’m on the struggle bus with getting enough protein, and as much as I try, I can’t convince myself to love eating meat (I’m not against eating meat in any way, it just isn’t my preference, and I’d like to sneak the protein in!)

Wonderful recipes – I’m so inspired! A word of caution about the pineapple version. I used a fresh pineapple with dairy yoghurt and protein powder – it turned bitter! I ran a search on Google to find out what was going on and sure enough, this is what I’ve found: “When pineapple mingles with dairy products such as milk and yogurt, its bromelain breaks down their casein, which is a major protein in milk. “The casein is chemically chewed up by bromelain, which will result in peptides, or smaller protein pieces, that can be perceived as bitter,” Wow, who would have thought? So if making the pineapple version – either cook the pineapple first or use canned pineapple (apparently the heat treatment destroys the enzyme bromelain – or use non-dairy milk/yoghurt. My bitter oat meal is still edible, not dangerous in any way – if anything it’s more easily digestible as the milk proteins have already started to break down – it’s just not as nice as I anticipated. On a positive note, the texture is spot on and I’ve still got all the other 5 versions to try which all sound very yummy – and I’ve also learned a valuable lesson in chemistry! :)

Crazy question, but I have to ask. Are rolled oats used in all the recipes above? The only one that specifies is the basic recipe.
