These Gluten Free Overnight Oats have been a life saver in our family. Aside from the fact that EVERYTHING changes once you have a kid; one big thing I notice is that I have no time for meal prep. So meals that I can make ahead of time and have ready to go are a big bonus.
Overnight oats are something that is so simple, delicious, and will keep you full for a long time, which my usual breakfast of varied fruit wouldn’t do. I love that you can make these your own and add whatever fresh or frozen fruit, nut butters, spices (cinnamon or vanilla bean), or chocolate chips if you want a real decadent treat! The best thing is they will never get boring because each morning you could add whatever you wanted to them to make them different and delicious.
- 1 cup - gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
- 1½ cup - unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy free milk you like)
- ¼ cup - chia seeds
- 1 ripe banana - mashed
- ½ teaspoon - cinnamon
- Toppings
- 1 tablespoon - almond butter (or nut butter of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon - hemp seeds
- 2 tablespoons - maple syrup
- Sprinkle of dairy free chocolate chips
- Fresh
- Add all of your ingredients into a bowl and stir well. Cover the mixture and place in the fridge overnight. I really like to use large mason jars because they are glass, don't take up too much room in my fridge and also can be well sealed and resealed if I end up eating the mixture throughout the day.
I add the toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, hemps seeds, etc., in the morning.
Let me know what you add to yours!
Enjoy 🙂
