It’s Thursday.

One day closer to Friday, but we’re not quite there yet.

So, I thought you could use a little sweet, but healthier, dish to brighten up your week.

If you’ve been hanging around here long enough, then you may already know that funfetti or cake batter anything is a winner in my book. But, since it’s been way too long since I’ve shared those flavors with you, I thought I would redeem myself, starting with an easy breakfast.

If you have a sweet spot for cake batter treats, then these Cake Batter Overnight Oats will keep you coming back for more. Smooth, creamy, and packed with flavor, these are the ultimate overnight oats.

And I know my overnight oats! From this Pumpkin Pie version, to those Blueberry French Toast Overnight Oats, to these Strawberry Nutella ones, I think it’s safe to say that I’m no stranger to experimenting with flavors.

And the secret to the cake batter taste? Butter extract!

The first time I heard of butter extract, I was a little (ok, a lot) skeptical of its powers. I mean, why would anyone want to use an extract in place of butter?! But, after experimenting with it a little, I loved the subtle hint of buttery goodness it added to cakes, cupcakes, and even waffles…without the extra calories of regular butter!

Besides the deliciously sweet taste of these Cake Batter Overnight Oats, they’re also fun to look at. Sprinkles makes everything better, right?

And if you’re in the mood, top these oats with a touch of whipped cream, just for that true “cake batter” experience. Trust me…it’s worth it!

Some tips to remember:

  • A little goes a long way! Start out with using 1/4 teaspoon of butter extract. If the taste isn’t strong enough, add a splash more…but not too much, otherwise it will be overpowering.
  • I used approximately 1 tablespoon of sugar to sweeten these oats. However, honey or maple syrup would work well, too.

So if you’re an overnight oats lover like I am, then these Cake Batter Overnight Oats will make a tasty (and healthier!) breakfast or mid-morning snack!

    These look great! I’m obsessed with cake batter everything, and butter extract is definitely the key to getting that flavor right. I like to use vanilla protein powder in the mix for added sweetness, flavor, and protein. YUM! Thanks for the inspiration!
