What’s In This Vanilla Cake Overnight Oats Recipe?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

  • Old Fashioned Oats: I used old fashioned oats for this recipe. I found old fashioned oats work much better than quick oats, as they hold up really well overnight.
  • Plant-Based Vanilla Protein Powder
  • Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give this recipe an #extra boost.
  • Maple Syrup
  • Ground Flaxseeds: I always add a scoop in my oatmeal!  This flaxseed meal has a wonderful nutty flavor too. 
  • Rainbow Sprinkles – because how fun are they?!
