Overnight oats are so simple to make, I just soak the oats a few hours or overnight in any kind of milk along with chia seeds, then top them with honey and figs. No cooking required!
Overnight Oats with Figs and Honey
Overnight Oats with Figs and HoneyIf you don’t have figs you can top with any fruit. Often I sweeten the oats with stevia, but today I opted for a little raw local honey.
It’s the start of fig season! Last week I attended an event for California Figs and brought home some beauties so I’ve been eating them all week. They are great as is, on toast with almond butter, but I also love them over a bowl of oats. This breakfast is healthy and full of fiber which will keep you full for hours.

I love overnight oats! They are so easy and delicious. I had recently run out of honey, so I substituted pure maple syrup, which complemented the pecans quite nicely. I also heated up the oats in the microwave for about 45 seconds before topping with the figs, nuts, and maple syrup.
Thank you for your recipes and menus! Â I am loving them!
Hi 🙂 what brand of quick oats do you use?
anything organic
Can I use rolled oats instead of quick oats?
I would love to see more overnight oat recipes. My husband and I love the recipe with blueberries and bananas. I do not like figs, but I will be trying this recipe with another fruit.
I love ypur recipes and use them every week! Thanks
Has anyone tried this with Steel Cut Oats?
Yes, I soak steel cut oats overnight. I prefer the “toothy” texture.
Can you use steel cut oats instead of quick oats?
no it won’t work
Thank you. I appreciate your response. Love your recipes and your meal plans. They are making a world of difference for me.
If I use dried figs, would I soak them overnight in the oats and milk?
You can try it either way. Dice them first though, and they will soften quiet a bit if you soak them over night. If you like more texture just add them in the morning.
