Vegan 'Nutella' Overnight Oats

I've been trying to increase my iron intake and recipes like these are so amazing, thank you so much! <3 Could you please let me know if the nutritional info in this recipe (and the others on the blog) are caluclated including the toppings and extra garnishes, or just the. base recipe alone? Thank you xx

Hey Senora, thank you so much for your kind words and for reaching out! We're really glad you're enjoying the recipes, and your message helps us improve how we share info about optional ingredients, too 🙌

To answer your question: it depends on the recipe. If an optional ingredient includes a portion size (like ¼ cup strawberries in this case), it is included in the nutritional info. These portions help us feature ingredients in the cook-along mode of our mobile app and suggest possible swaps. If there's no portion size listed (like simply “strawberries”), then it's not included in the nutritional breakdown. Hope this helps, and happy cooking!✨

Hi, this looks like a delicious recipe for breakfast. How can I make it less rich in saturated fat? Any tips?

Hey there, Gerrit! Thanks for your interest in the nutella overnight oats recipe. You could swap the hazelnut butter for almond or peanut butter, use a lower-fat plant-based yogurt, or perhaps skip some of the dark chocolate for a few ideas 🤗

Très bon et gourmand, rapide à faire. Parfait pour commencer la journée

This was good, though a little overpowering on the coco powder side. I did use cacao powder though, so that was probably it. It was still yummy and adding yogurt, strawberries, and bananas really hit the spot!

Hey Eve, thanks for sharing your experience with the recipe. We prefer Dutch-processed cocoa powder since it's sweeter in flavour and dissolves easily in liquid compared to natural cocoa powder or cacao powder which is more bitter. So glad the overnight oats were still enjoyed with the yogurt and fruit though 🫶✨

Its my breakfast staple now. I add maple syrup instead of dark chocolate. Its so delicious

I'm not normally a sweet tooth for breakfast, but this is really delicious! I'm loving this app!

I am not a fan of sweet breakfasts but this was absolutely delicious. I added a teaspoon of maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.

I must say I was a bit sceptical because I didn't spot any evident source of sweetness in the ingredient list but as I tried and was blown away by the delicious taste and texture!
It's just what I need especially at the end of the menstrual cycle when my body needs some extra magnesium 🥰

Aww we're so happy to hear that the overnight oats were enjoyed, Anita! Sending lots of love your way 🫶

Definitely will do it again.

I made it with oat milk and peanut butter. Tastes amazing😍

Hi, thank you for the amazing recipes. Just a question, this doesn’t have any sweetener?!

PUL Team - Dec. 11, 2023, 1:13 a.m.

Hey there, Rose, the chocolate and strawberries contribute to a sweet taste. Dutch-processed cocoa powder also has a sweeter flavour than other cocoa powders. You're welcome to add an alternative sweetener if you'd like though 🙂

Yum

When your day starts with this you know it'll be a good day 😎😋

Absolutely delicious!
The little bit of shredded chocolate gives it a very rich taste.
I omitted maple syrup and substituted with a mashed banana for sweetness.
LOVE this app!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Its good with a little bit of maple sirup 😋

Hi 💜 does the nutrition info include the toppings? Xx

PUL Team - Feb. 4, 2023, 3:10 a.m.

Hey Helen, yes it does 🙂

Anita Pietrzak - July 8, 2024, 12:51 p.m.

Hi! I'm a little surprised, because it has similar caloric amount as Almond Choc Overnight Oats which has less ingredients (and no toppings) 🤔😊

PUL Team - July 8, 2024, 2:53 p.m.

Hey Anita! Thanks for the question. The similarity is partly due to the type and amount of ingredients used. For example, the Almond Chocolate Overnight Oats recipe includes 2 tablespoons of nut butter in the base and more fruit. This recipe uses 1 tablespoon of nut butter in the base and another tablespoon as a topping, making the total amount similar. It also includes less fruit as a topping, along with a bit of coconut yogurt. Do let us know if this helps 🤗

What a delectable and indulgent breakfast - loved it!

Hello,

How long do you think I can keep it on the fridge ? I would like to do couple of overnight oat in advance.

Thanks (I've been eating this receipe almost every day since you post it on youtube 2 years ago).

PUL Team - Aug. 6, 2022, 7:03 p.m.

Hey there, Kassy, we find this one stays best in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 2 days 🙂

Archa - March 28, 2023, 8:06 a.m.

Hi Kassy,

I batch make it actually. I make 5 different mason jars of this overnight oats every sunday and use it throughout the week l They stay good in fridge. I add the topping only in the morning just before eating

I love every recipe from you, but this one I wasn't gaga over

PUL Team - May 25, 2022, 4:26 p.m.

Hey there, Astrid, thank you for taking the time to share - how disappointing! Were all of the ingredients followed as listed? We do find the optional toppings in overnight oats also helpful to make the recipe more personal. So glad the other PUL recipes are being enjoyed in any case and do let us know if you have any other feedback to help PUL improve 🙂

This is heaven!!

I love this. I didn't even add the chocolate and I used hazelnut butter and this really tastes like Nutella 😋. As a German who grew up having Nutella all the time, this makes me extremely happy 😊. Thanks for the recipe ❤️

PUL Team - Feb. 19, 2022, 4:33 a.m.

Mmm sounds delicious, Celina, we're so glad to hear! Love the personal connection to it 😃

It is really awesome for a chocolate lover me !! This has become my new favorite!!

This is amazing!!! I love overnight oats but my husband and kids have never enjoyed it. This got a massive thumbs up from them all. I’ve never used hazelnut butter before and it’s my new favourite nut butter. I really enjoyed it topped with strawberries as a nice fresh taste to balance it out.

PUL Team - Oct. 26, 2021, 4:55 a.m.

Woohoo! So glad your family enjoyed it. Strawberries are a lovely topping, Linda 🍓

Great recipe! I love oatmeal and all the chocolate make it even better. Thank you Sadia and the PUL team. Greatings from Argentina.

Aw we appreciate this so much, Sil! Greeting back to Argentina 🤗

I'm not a big fan of oatmeal and I've tried making it many different ways. I finally found a recipe that I truly enjoy. I've already made these overnight oats numerous times and love them. I add fresh blueberries as a topping. Thank you so much, Sadia! Btw, love your cookbook which I use daily. Much love from Serbia! :)

PUL Team - Aug. 23, 2021, 10:50 p.m.

Oh, Ana, we're so thrilled you're enjoying the oatmeal and PUL cookbook! Much love back to Serbia 💚

Depending on the sweetness of your 'Nutella', you might want to add something to balance that sweetness. I ended up putting a bunch of thawed frozen berries on top and it was divine. Such a delicious treat and a good choice for "second breakfast".

PUL Team - July 28, 2021, 9:07 p.m.

Thawed berries sound delicious! Thank you, Emily 😍

Delicious, easy, nutritious, satisfying.. what more could you want

This is absolutely the best breakfast🥰 was struggling to actually eat breakfast in the mornings, your overnight recipes have been so helpful 😊 this and the strawberry cheesecake overnight oats are my favourite!

PUL Team - July 16, 2021, 3:50 a.m.

What a huge compliment, Emma, thank you! So happy you're enjoying the overnight oat recipes 🤗

I have been eating this literally every single morning for the last two months, and yet to get bored of it. I love it so much, since I am the laziest person on earth and lazy to chop chocolate, I just add a spoon of maple syrup. It is wonderful with strawberries on top. Thank you so much <3

I'd do this again with a little less cocoa and perhaps a little bit of dried fruits such as raisins for sweetness!

PUL Team - June 5, 2021, 10:11 p.m.

Thank you for the review, Cris! Lovely idea to add some dried fruit for sweetness 🤗

This is heaven for any chocolate lover 😍
I’ve tried different topping combinations and so far I prefer this combination to compensate the bittersweet flavour: roasted and salted pumpkin seeds, coconut yoghurt and stewed or thawed strawberries.
Thank you so much for an indulgent Friday breakfast!!

PUL Team - April 2, 2021, 11:09 p.m.

Pumpkin seeds are a lovely topping idea 🤤 So happy you enjoyed the recipe, Louise!
