What’s In This Birthday Cake Overnight Oats Recipe?
- Rolled Oats: as I’ve mentioned in many overnight oat recipes, old-fashioned oats are the way to go! They are going to give you that chewy, delicious text you love and soak up just enough liquid without getting mushy.
- Chia seeds: packed with nutrients and create a gel-like consistency.
- Greek yogurt: plain Greek yogurt adds a boost of protein and gives the oats a creamy consistency.
- Almond milk: dairy-free and provides a creamy texture for your overnight oats.
- Vanilla extract: adds a hint of vanilla to the oats.
- Honey: the perfect natural sweetener that won’t interfere with the birthday cake batter flavor.
- SPRINKLES: use any type of sprinkles you like. We used rainbow sprinkles, but chocolate sprinkles would be a fun chocolatey twist!

Tips for Making the Best Birthday Cake Oats
- We added the sprinkles right at the end so that the colors didn’t bleed.
- If you let the sprinkles sit in the fridge overnight, they will bleed, and your oatmeal will turn a brown/green color. Ain’t nobody want that to happen.
- Feel free to sweeten with real maple syrup or agave instead.
- We love making this recipe for special birthdays – I mean, nothing is better than sprinkles for your birthday breakfast.
- If you want to double or triple the batch for some meal prep or to share, go for it! You can store the extras in small mason jars or airtight containers.
- Like your oats a little creamier, add a splash of milk right before serving.
Storage
These oats will last around 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container or glass jar.
