This Cheddar and Herb Savory Overnight Oats Recipe is a new way to turn oatmeal into a healthy breakfast. Made right in a jar so it’s ready to go first thing in the morning!
Oh, oats. They always get the short end of the stick when it comes to their capabilities. Poor little oats.
They’re so the black sheep of the grain world. Only allowed to be covered in brown sugar, cinnamon, or anything that resembles a dessert at 7AM. On the other hand, rice gets to be with beans and pudding. Quinoa? Well it just gets a fast pass right next to acai and spirulina on the superfood express where it gets to be whatever the eff it wants. It’s not even a grain!
Overnight oats have claimed their spot in the breakfast world, and savory oatmeal is slowly making its way there too. Savory overnight oats? Now that’s a new one. And that’s why I’m here.
They’re creamy, sexy, cool. Herbaceous. And cheesy. Did I mention there’s cheese in them? There’s cheese in them. You’re welcome.
Money-Saving Tips for this Savory Overnight Oats Recipe:
- Buy in bulk. The bigger contains of oats, milk, and yogurt is more cost-effective than the smaller sizes. Use the leftovers for breakfast throughout the week, or make a double batch of this recipe at a time.
- Grate yourself. Pre-grated cheese is convenient, but more costly. Save a little extra by grating it yourself. It will taste fresher too.
- Use store brands. Utilizing store brands for basic items such as oats, spices, or milk can be less expensive without sacrificing flavor or quality.
Don’t worry oats. Mama Sin’s gotcha back. You sing your savory little heart out. #OatWins.

Sweet or savory breakfast?
Overnight or hot oatmeal?
I kind of love this idea! I’m not a big sweets for breakfast person, so I’ll definitely have to give this a try.
I love this, such a great twist! Also, HECK YES for #pumpkin cheerios 🙂
I love the sounds of these! I’ve made savory warm oats, but never thought to make savory overnight oats! Also… I bought some of those Pumpkin O’s from Trader Joe’s and may or may not have made the whole box disappear in about 3 days… whoops!
You made me laugh out loud! Oats really are categorized into the brown sugar sweet breakfast mold. This looks really good!
Yay for savory oats! I haven’t made that in ages, but I should get back on that again! (Or even just to eating oatmeal in general! <3 I used to start every morning with it!)
I haven’t yet tried savory overnight oats! Will definitely have to try this recipe out!
I love the idea of making savory overnight oats! I’m not much of a “sweets” person, so this sounds perfect…can’t wait to give it a try!!
Savory overnight oats!! That’s a new concept – but I love it! Pair it with some eggs in the morning and BAM! Delicious 🙂
I am more of a savory breakfast and oatmeal eater myself. Have not yet tried overnight oats yet
I NEED to try savory oats, these look easy & delish
