Bu Overnight Oats with Water is the perfect healthy breakfast if you ran out of milk, or simply want a low-calorie healthy breakfast.
Soaking oats overnight makes delicious, easier-to-digest recipes packed with nutrients and so fresh to eat in the morning. I love overnight oats so much that I’ve been meal prepping a different version every single week for at least two years.
Are you skeptical? Ok, check out my many gece yulaf tarifleri, I believe I’m at more than 30 now, and I keep making the same over and over. In fact my absolute favorites are my Tiramisu Gecelik Yulaf, Protein Tozlu Gece Yulafı, ve Bebekler İçin Gece Boyu Bekletilen Yulaf Ezmesi, so I tend to make them several times a year (or more, I must confess). While I usually use almond milk or coconut milk for overnight oats, I recently tried using water! It’s a great way to save on expensive plant-based milk and serve a healthy breakfast.

What Are Overnight Oats With Water?
It’s a healthy, dairy-free, make-ahead breakfast where oats, chia seeds, and spices are soaked overnight in water to create raw oatmeal. The recipe also contains flavors, sweeteners, and often some added ingredients to add creaminess, like yogurt or nut butter.
It’s the perfect healthy breakfast if you love to meal prep and ready-to-eat oats in the morning.
If you run out of plant-based milk, try this amazing idea of replacing plant-based milk with water in overnight oats. The result is good, light, lower in calories, and works like any other non-dairy milk. Below are my tips to make this easy overnight oat without milk.

Malzemeler ve Değişiklikler
The basic ingredients you need to make this healthy breakfast are:
- Eski Tarz Yulaf Ezmesi or quick-cooking oats, I always use half of each. Rolled oats add a chunky texture, and quick oats add creaminess.
- Chia Tohumlar – Chia seeds are nutritional powerhouses (kaynak) and a gooey texture that makes overnight oats radically better!
- Tarçın or any spices like pumpkin pie spices, nutmeg, ginger, or anything that add taste to the water.
- Akçaağaç şurubu or any refined sugar-free sweetener you love, like agave syrup or coconut nectar.
- Vanilya Özü – lezzet için.
- Su – well, this is a recipe of overnight oats with water, so water it is!
How To Make Overnight Oats With Water
This recipe is as easy as my basic gece yulaf tarifi, and a bit lighter since you don’t need milk.
The recipe comes together pretty well with the ingredients above in the same ratio as my 3-ingredient overnight oats. The difference is that the texture is lighter and less creamy than a classic overnight oats recipe.

- Place oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon in a glass mason jar close the lid and shake to combine (fotoğraf 2).
- In a small bowl, add peanut butter and maple syrup and stir until creamy and runny (fotoğraf 3).
- Open the jar, and pour the peanut butter mixture, water, and vanilla extract (fotoğraf 4). Use a fork to stir the ingredients together, close the lid and refrigerate for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, you often end up with two layers – the water goes on top, and oats and seeds gravitate to the bottom. Open the jar and stir again for 20 seconds (fotoğraf 5). Since the mixture already thickened a bit, this second stirring step will ensure that the mixture won’t split into layers.
- Keep in the fridge overnight, or at least 5 hours before serving (fotoğraf 6).
Making It Creamier
If you like your oats creamier, with more flavor and smooth texture, add:
- 1 yemek kaşığı fıstık ezmesi
- 2 tablespoons plant-based yogurt
- Half mashed banana
I recommend adding some of the above to the recipe or the flavor is pretty blend and the texture watery. But then, if you are making overnight oats for weight loss and trying to cut down the calories, you may enjoy the texture without adding these suggested ingredients.
Making Overnight Oats Without Water Or Milk
This recipe calls for water and works perfectly with cold tap water. But, you can also use any liquid, juice, non-dairy milk or flavored water if you want to try something new. My best suggestions for water swaps are:
- Hindistan Cevizi Suyu
- Watermelon Water
- Half of cold brew coffee and half of almond milk for coffee overnight oats.
- Half cold matcha tea and half coconut milk.

Love this recipe! I usually triple it to last me a few days except I just use 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and add 2 scoops of whey vanilla protein. It is delicious and easy to make.
That’s sounds amazing!
When do I add my protein powder?
Dissolve the protein powder with some water or almond milk first, this will prevent lumps. You will need way more than the recipe call for because protein powder absorb so much water.
This is my new favorite recipe for oatmeal. I left the sweetener out since I need to watch my sugar intake. This was still delicious. It also gave me a delicious way to use up some chia seeds that I bought and never figured out how to use.
I am so glad you love it!
I don’t see a measurement for the water: How much water did you use?
It’s there, just under the peanut butter! 3/4 cup for the base recipe!
Hi, could I use the flaxseed meal instead? If so, how many grams to replace please? Thank you.
Yes, flaxmeal can replace chia seeds in same amount
Haha exactly what I needed. I ran out of milk (not vegan, so classic milk) and wanted to make overnight oats, so thanks for having the best recipe out there 🙂
Teşekkür ederim!!
Delicious and simple, what more to ask?
Glad I found it on Facebook, it’s such a simple and tasty recipe! I’ve made it with a ton of blueberries, still delish
