- Vanilla extract
- Honey
- Lemon juice + zest

- Unsalted butter
- Egg yolks
- Raspberries
Choosing Your Oats
When it comes to overnight oats, old-fashioned rolled oats work best for the perfect texture. We do not recommend this recipe with quick oats or steel-cut oats as the texture will not be the same.

Tips for Perfect Overnight Oats
- Make lemon curd – you can use store-bought if you want to speed up the process, but homemade is SO easy and definitely worth the extra few minutes!
- Use Greek yogurt in oats – this makes the overnight oats extra creamy!
- Make macerated raspberry sauce – you can also use thawed frozen raspberries if you don’t have access to fresh.
- Swirl lemon curd and raspberry sauce – spoon overnight oats into your serving dish and swirl a few spoonfuls of lemon curd and raspberry sauce into oats.
Recipe Variations
Overnight oats are a blank canvas for so many variations! Check out these ideas. –>
- Use a different milk in oats – oat, soy, coconut, or almond milk all work great as a replacement for the regular milk.
- Try a different fruit – any kind of berry will work in place of the raspberries! You can also use a combo of several berries for an extra fruity kick.
- Make a different citrus curd – lime, orange, or grapefruit will all work in place of the lemon.
Make Ahead Instructions
Overnight oats can obviously be made the night before, but they will also keep great in the fridge up to 6 days.
The lemon curd and raspberry sauce may also be made and stored in the fridge up to 6 days. For the best flavors, we recommend swirling into oats just before serving.

These oats just brighten up a mid-January morning in the best way, y’all. The tangy swirls of lemon curd, juicy raspberries, and creamy oats are just dreamy together!
Plus it’s just the prettiest breakfast, there’s no denying that! Good thing they taste even better than they look.

Ingredients
Lemon Curd
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Overnight Oats
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 cups 2% or skim milk (dairy free milk also works!)
- 3 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh (or frozen and thawed) raspberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Lemon Curd
- In the bottom pot of a double-boiler, bring a few inches of water to a boil, then reduce heat to low to keep water at a simmer. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, and zest into the top bowl of double boiler and place on top of bottom pot of simmering water.
- Whisk lemon curd continuously so the egg yolks don't curdle. Continue whisking over simmering water until curd becomes smooth and thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Remove curd from heat and immediately add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time whisking well after each addition.
- Allow lemon curd to cool slightly, then place plastic wrap directly on surface of lemon curd and place in refrigerator.
Overnight Oats
- In a large mason jar, combine oats, milk, yogurt, honey, and vanilla. Screw lid on and shake to combine. Let chill in fridge overnight or at least 8 hours.
- When ready to serve: In a small bowl, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Let stand 5 minutes until berries begin to release their juices.
- Spoon overnight oats into serving jars and top with a few spoonfuls of raspberries and lemon curd. Swirl into overnight oats and serve immediately. Enjoy!
