Key Ingredients
- Lemon — We’ll use both the zest and the juice of the lemon.
- Oats — I used rolled oats for this recipe, but you can substitute instant oats.
- Chia — We’ll add some ground chia seeds to create a thicker texture. You can use whole chia seeds; I just prefer ground because it creates a smoother finished texture.
- Syrup — I used maple syrup, but you can substitute agave nectar.
- Milk — We’ll use almond milk for the best overnight oats! Substitute your favorite plant-based milk.
- Yogurt — I love adding some plant-based yogurt (plain, unsweetened) for an even more tangy flavor.
- Protein Powder — I add some vanilla protein powder for increased flavor and nutrients. If your protein powder is not sweetened, you may want to add an extra teaspoon or two of sweetener.
- Cornstarch — We’ll use cornstarch to thicken the lemon curd topping.
- Turmeric — A pinch of turmeric makes that lemon curd sunny yellow.
- Plant-based Patties — You can use Impossible patties, Beyond Beef Patties, or whatever vegan veggie burger patties you have. If you’re using plant-based grounds, you’ll want to form it into three or four equally-sized patties.
- Salt and Pepper — We’ll sprinkle the top of the patties with salt and pepper before flipping them.
- Hamburger Buns — You’ll need four hamburger buns or serve these patties as a lettuce wrap. It works either way.
- Favorite Toppings — Add your favorite toppings, such as vegan cheese slices, vegan mayo, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and more. For a special touch, add some vegan Big Mac sauce.
