Just tried this this morning and it was a big hit with my whole family! Thank you!
Oh yay! We are glad to hear this, Victoria. I am excited to try this recipe this weekend! 🙂
Realised I had all the ingredients so followed your instructions & am now looking forward to the morning so I can enjoy this combo. To be honest I tried a small tsp. Tastes delicious. Thank you sisterhood X
So glad you found this recipe delicious, Terry!
What can I substitute for the dates?
Thanks for your message! You can choose to omit them or add extra sweetener (since dates are on the sweet side). You could also substitute another fruit like banana, but note that doing so will change the flavor profile of the overnight oats. Let me know if this helps!
I made this last night. It was very good and quite filling. I think I could squeeze 3 servings out of one batch, rather than two. It was a tad on the sweet side, so I might leave out some of the sweetener next time. My husband and daughter both liked it as well.
Thank you for your message and feedback, Cassandra! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed this recipe. ?
What type of coconut milk do you recommend? Canned or carton?
Hi there! You can use unsweetened coconut milk that comes either in a carton or a can depending on your preference, although sometimes the milk that comes in cartons is a bit smoother and easier to blend smoothly. ?
Tried this today-it’s like pudding for brekkie! Delicious! I also added fresh banana, blueberries, cacao nibs and cacao crunch as a topping.
Oh my goodness!! This is a favorite recipe of mine so delicious and pretty to eat with frozen fruit, walnuts and the salted caramel sauce on top
So glad you enjoy this recipe, Natalie! Love all your additions, too. 🙂
This may be a silly question but do you eat this hot or cold? Thanks!
Hi Allison! You’re asking a great question. 🙂 Overnight oats are typically eaten cold, but you could certainly try heating them up too!
Can you sub the coconut milk for more almond milk?
You sure can, MK! 🙂
