Having breakfast ready to go has made my morning routine so much simpler. These gluten-free overnight oats have become a staple in my meal prep routine—perfect for a filling and delicious start to the day. Each jar is layered with creamy Greek yogurt, gluten-free oats, and a touch of sweet maple syrup. The best part is they’re completely customizable, so I never get bored. I can top them with fresh fruit, crunchy nuts, or even a sprinkle of chocolate to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Combine oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a jar or container.
Stir well to ensure everything is mixed.
Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
In the morning, stir the oats, add your desired toppings, and enjoy.
Notes
Not all oats are gluten-free. Make sure to use certified gluten-free rolled oats to avoid cross-contamination.
If you use quick oats, the texture will be softer. I don’t recommend using steel-cut oats as they’re thicker and will be chewier and possibly not soaked through.
Any milk works—dairy, almond, coconut, oat, or soy. Choose based on your dietary preference and flavor preference.
Fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, nut butter, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, or granola are great options.
Warm them in the microwave or on the stovetop for a few minutes if you prefer them hot.
Sometimes, my oats are a bit thick in the morning, so I just add a splash of milk and stir to loosen the consistency.
