This is the first overnight oats recipe in my new series of Dessert Overnight Oats. Berry Cobbler is a sweet and delicious way to start your day, who said you can’t have dessert for breakfast?
Overnights oats are the latest craze in easy, vegan, and whole food recipes. And I can definitely understand why. Who wouldn’t like something easy to make, good to eat, and super healthy? When I decided to venture down the overnight oats road, I wanted to do something a little different and also catch my kids attention. Being vegan, protein is always something we make sure we are getting enough of. Our newest protein packed love is hemp seeds. I really like the Hemp Hearts brand, they have a great texture and add so much nutrition to our meals! So I decided that in my series of overnight oats, I was definitely putting these in there. To catch my kids attention, I ventured out to make my very own Overnight Oats Dessert Series! Dessert number one, Berry Cobbler…enjoy!
- ½ cup fresh or thawed frozen berries chopped or mashed
- ¼ ripe banana mashed about 2 tablespoons
- 2 tablespoons date paste or other sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ¼ cup raw shelled hemp seeds I use the Hemp Hearts brand
- ½ cup gluten free rolled oats or regular rolled oats
- 1- 1 ½ cups almond milk depending on how runny you like your oats (or other milk of choice)
- Put all ingredients in a mason jar (or other container) in the order listed. Close lid tightly and shake well. Store in the refrigerator until the next morning.
- You can purchase my Overnight Oats Jar to use with this recipe as well!
- Before eating, shake well again. Serve cold or warm, if serving warm take the lid off of the jar before warming in the microwave or pour the oats in a pot to warm on the stove. You can also add a little more milk when serving to give it a "soupier" feel.
- Instead of using the hemp seeds, you can sub more oats.
- You can also use the berries straight from the freezer but don’t expect them to mix well until the next morning.

Do you use chia seeds? Picture shows them. If so, how much? Thanks

That’s so weird that it wasn’t in there recipe! I just changed plugins and I’ve had a few issues so maybe it was deleted. But it’s there now! I use a tablespoon but you can use less or more too!
Jenny Pierno says
Hey! Just to clarify – we don’t have to cook the oats first, correct?
veggiesdontbite says
Nope. You’re right. Just put them in the jar, add other ingredients, fill with milk, shake to mix and put in fridge for breakfast the next day!
Jenny Pierno says
Just bought some mason jars! Going to try this out this week. Yay 🙂
