S'mores Overnight Oats for First Trimester Cravings

These S'mores Overnight Oats came together during a season when I deeply missed backyard bonfires and chilly evenings wrapped in blankets.

Early pregnancy pulled the rug out from under so many routines, and food memories became emotional anchors. I was craving s'mores not just for the taste, but for the calm they used to bring.

On days when I needed something cozy but less dessert-like, I reached for my Maple Cinnamon Overnight Oats instead.

How The Ingredients In These S'mores Overnight Oats Support You & The Baby

The oats are soft and creamy, with little bits of semi-sweet chocolate and a warm vanilla note that feels familiar.

It tastes like comfort, but without overwhelming.

Eating it slowly, straight from the fridge, felt grounding when my stomach was unpredictable and my appetite came in waves.

Prep Time: 10 minutes / Total Time: 10 minutes + overnight chilling / Yields: 1-2 servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup (80 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 1/4 cup (300 ml) 10-Minute Homemade Unsweetened Almond Milk
• 1/2 cup (120 g) unsweetened plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1-2 tablespoons roughly chopped semi-sweet chocolate (15-30 g)
• 1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  

Optional Toppings

• 1/4 cup (13 g) mini marshmallows
• 1/4 cup (15 g) crushed graham crackers
• 1 tablespoon roughly chopped semi-sweet chocolate or mini chocolate chips (about 15 g)

Preparation Instructions for Pregnancy-Friendly S'mores Overnight Oats

1. In a medium bowl or two individual jars, combine the oats, almond milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, semi-sweet chocolate, and maple syrup.
2. Stir everything together gently until well mixed.
3. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
4. In the morning, give the oats a gentle stir.
5. Top each serving with mini marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, and extra chopped chocolate. For that classic toasted flavor, use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the marshmallows just before eating (or enjoy as-is).

Tips & Variations For the Best Pregnancy-Safe S'mores Overnight Oats

• Choose the right oats: Avoid steel-cut oats and instant/quick oats. Steel-cut oats won't soften and will remain quite gritty in texture, whereas instant oats will turn into a strange pudding. Stick to old-fashioned oats for best results.
  
• Swap the milk: Oat, rice, coconut, Homemade Pistachio Milk, 2-Ingredient Overnight Almond Milk, or any plant-based milk works for this recipe!
  
• Make it dairy-free & vegan: Swap the Greek yogurt in the recipe for almond yogurt or coconut yogurt. Also, use a dairy-free/vegan chocolate and marshmallows.
• Meal prep: Double or triple the recipe and you've got breakfast for the whole week (almost) ready to go!
  
• Double Chocolate S'mores Overnight Oats: Stir 1-2 tablespoons Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Spread into the oat mixture before refrigerating for an extra chocolatey treat. You can also use the chocolate variation in my Sweetened Almond Milk (3-Ways!) recipe instead.
• Add protein: Stir 1-2 tablespoons Sugar-Free Almond Butter or 1-Ingredient Peanut Butter into the mixture before refrigerating for extra hearty oats. 
• Add more toppings: Chopped pecans, Cool Whip, and sliced bananas can add great flavor and texture. 1-2 tablespoons per serving should be enough.  

What to Serve With These S'mores Overnight Oats

Here are my favorite ways to enjoy them: 

• On their own.
• With a cold glass of almond milk or oat milk.
• Nibbling on my Peanut Butter Banana Rice Cakes when that's all my body can handle for the day. 
• As an afternoon snack, with a scoop of Banana Nice Cream or Pistachio Banana Nice Cream. 

How to Store These S'mores Overnight Oats

• Fridge: The prepared oats (without toppings) can be stored in an airtight container or jar for up to 4 days. Add graham crackers right before serving to preserve crunch.

A Note From My Chaotic Kitchen

First trimester taught me that the middle ground matters. You do not have to give up the foods that hold memories, you just find gentler ways to enjoy them. 

Sometimes comfort looks like a quiet morning, a metal spoon, and letting yourself enjoy something that feels like home.
