These sweet potato overnight oats are DELICIOUS. They’re the perfect make-ahead breakfast, are packed with flavor, and will keep you satisfied until lunch. This recipe makes 2 servings or 1 really big-ass serving. If it’s a week when I’m teaching a ton in addition to doing my own daily workouts, I’ll eat the whole thing (#bottomlesspit). But otherwise, I’ll do half and then eat the second half later in the day or the following morning.

I like to prepare these sweet potato overnight oats on an evening I’m already roasting sweet potatoes for dinner. You only need a 1/4 cup of sweet potato puree for recipe, so it’d be silly to just roast a sliver of a potato. Roast the whole thing, eat most of it for dinner and save the rest for breakfast!

The recipe is easily customizable. You could even replace the sweet potato puree with pumpkin puree! Swap pecans for your favorite nut. You could use your favorite dairy-free milk or even milk milk. And if you only have vanilla almond milk on hand, use that but omit the vanilla extract. Chia seeds are optional, but I love the texture they add. And if you’re not a fan of raisins, just omit them. If you want a less sweet breakfast, only use half the maple syrup or omit it altogether.

If you love this sweet potato overnight oats recipe, I have a couple other similar recipes you should check out:

• Cinnamon Raisin Overnight Oats – my go-to!
• Blueberry Muffin Overnight Oats – adding lemon zest to oatmeal might sound weird, but trust me—yummy!

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and overnight oats are so convenient. You can prep them ahead of time, and you can take them with you to work, no reheating or assembling required. Give this recipe a try this week and let me know what you think!
