Coconut Vanilla Overnight Oats. Oh. My. Gosh. This overnight oats recipe may be my most favorite so far. If you love my Coconut Cream Larabars, you will love these overnight oats too!
Coconut butter just makes everything a little better. It is so rich and delicious! I actually didn’t use cranberries in my recipe, I just thought the color was great for the photo. I may try adding them to the recipe next time. Raspberries would be a nice addition too.
I love using steel cut oats in my overnight oats, because I like the crunch. If you like a smoother oatmeal, feel free to use rolled oats instead. Both will work out fine in this easy overnight oats recipe.
