Key Lime Pie Overnight Oats Recipe
If you love the zesty, creamy flavor of key lime pie like I do, then you’re going to fall in love with these Key Lime Pie Overnight Oats! 💚
This recipe brings all the fresh, tangy goodness of the classic dessert into a healthy, no-cook breakfast that’s ready when you wake up.
It’s the perfect way to start your day with something refreshing, sweet, and good for you.
What I enjoy most about this recipe is how simple and quick it is to put together. I just mix everything the night before, let it chill in the fridge, and boom—dessert-for-breakfast is ready by morning! 🍋
Whether you’re meal-prepping for the week or just want something different to enjoy, this one is worth trying.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind you like – I usually go with almond or oat milk) 🥛
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (for that creamy pie texture)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey 🍯
- Juice and zest of 1 key lime (or regular lime if that’s what you have) 🍋
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for extra fiber and thickness)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Crushed graham crackers for topping (optional but fun!) 🍪
Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by mixing the oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, lime juice, lime zest, chia seeds, vanilla, and salt in a jar or bowl. Stir everything together until fully combined.
Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate overnight, or at least for 4 hours. In the morning, give it a good stir. The oats will be soft, creamy, and full of citrusy flavor!
Top with crushed graham crackers just before serving for that true key lime pie feel. I also like to add a little dollop of Greek yogurt on top and an extra sprinkle of lime zest for freshness.
Tips & Variations
You can make this recipe dairy-free by using plant-based yogurt and milk. For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
Want a more indulgent version? Add a splash of coconut milk and a few white chocolate chips 😋
If you can’t find key limes, don’t worry—regular limes work just fine. You’ll still get that delicious tart flavor that makes this breakfast taste like dessert in a jar!
Storage
This will keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. I usually make two or three jars at once and grab one on busy mornings. Super easy, super delicious!
