If you're looking for an easy, make-ahead breakfast that actually keeps you full, these Raspberry Jam Overnight Oats are such a great option to add to your routine!
Like my Protein Chia Pudding and my Creamy Coconut Milk Chia Pudding, this is one my latest go-to option for busy mornings since everything is prepped ahead of time...you just grab a jar from the fridge and you're good to go! They're also creamy and lightly sweet, with the raspberry chia jam adding the best fresh flavor and the toasted coconut on top bringing a little extra texture. They might be my favorite variation of my oats yet!

Raspberry Jam Overnight Oats Recipe
Ingredients
Oats. You can't make overnight oats without oats! I like to use minute oats but any type of rolled or quick oats will work. It just may slightly alter how thick and creamy the oats get!
Chia seeds. Chia seeds act as a natural binder. By adding a tablespoon into the oats, they absorb some of the liquid and create a thickened consistency!
Coconut milk. To create a creamy coconut flavor I use a carton of coconut milk as the base of this recipe, however any milk of choice will work!
Greek yogurt. This is my secret to adding protein while also creating the perfect thick and creamy consistency! Skyr would also be a great option- just any thick yogurt!
Vanilla protein powder. I always like to add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to all my oatmeal recipes to boost the protein and help keep me full longer. It also adds a subtle sweetness and vanilla flavor to the oats!
Vanilla extract.
Raspberry chia jam. This recipe uses my 3-ingredient chia jam for added fiber and a fresh raspberry flavor.
Honey. For natural sweetness!
Unsweetened shredded coconut. We toast this until it reaches a lovely golden brown color!
The complete ingredient list with measurements can be found in the recipe card below.
Instructions
- Start by preparing a batch of raspberry chia jam and place in the fridge until needed.
- To make the chia pudding base: In a large mixing bowl whisk together the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients.
- Whisk in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to thicken. I recommend allowing at least 3 hours, though overnight works best!
- Make the toasted coconut by adding a thin even layer of coconut to a baking sheet and baking at 350F for about 5 minutes (watch closely as it burns VERY quickly) or until golden brown.
- Evenly distribute the chia jam amongst 4x 10 oz glass jars (add about 2 tablespoon to the bottom of each jar).
- Top the jam with overnight oats (about 1 cup/ jar).
- Sprinkle the tops of the oats with toasted coconut and cover. Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.

- You may also replace the chia jam with mashed raspberries if you prefer!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Oats are high in fiber and contain beta-glucan, which supports heart health. Paired with protein and other nutrients, they make a balanced and satisfying breakfast.
No, you can leave it out if you prefer. Just note that the oats will be slightly less sweet and lower in protein, so you may want to add a little extra honey!
Oats do contain carbohydrates, which naturally raise blood sugar, but that's not a bad thing. When you pair them with protein and fiber, like in this recipe, it helps slow digestion and support more stable blood sugar levels.
You can eat them after a few hours, but for the best texture I recommend letting them sit overnight so they fully thicken.
