Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup Certified Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
3/4 cup Milk of Choice
1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
1 teaspoon Sweetener
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/8 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: First, assemble all the necessary components: certified gluten-free rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Next, add the gluten-free rolled oats, chia seeds, and salt into a jar with a lid (a pint-sized Mason jar works perfectly) or any sealable container. Give them a quick stir to combine them thoroughly
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Then, pour in the milk of your choice, the sweetener, and the vanilla extract
  4. Stir Thoroughly: Stir everything together very well. Ensure no dry clumps of oats or chia seeds remain at the bottom. Give it another good stir after a minute or two to prevent any settling
  5. Cover and Chill: Place the lid securely on the container. Transfer the jar to the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill and soak for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight (8 hours), allowing the oats to soften and the chia seeds to work their magic, creating a thick and creamy consistency
  6. Customize and Enjoy: In the morning, remove the gluten free overnight oats from the fridge. Give it another quick stir. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash more milk to reach the desired consistency. Then, load it up with your favorite toppings—fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt

Notes

Always opt for certified gluten-free rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) for the best chew and texture.

Chia seeds are essential for the creamy texture; ground flaxseed can be used as a substitute, but the texture will be slightly different.

Adjust liquid (milk) to your preference: reduce for thicker oats, add a splash more in the morning for a thinner consistency.

Stir thoroughly after combining all ingredients, and again after 5-10 minutes, to ensure no clumps and a uniform texture.

Sweetener can be adjusted from 1-2 teaspoons to taste. Remember that fruit toppings also contribute natural sweetness.

Pint-sized Mason jars or any airtight container work well for individual servings and meal prepping.

Easily prepare several jars at once; stored in an airtight container, they last for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Add toppings just before serving to maintain their best texture and freshness.

While typically enjoyed cold, you can warm them in a microwave or on the stovetop, but be aware the texture will change to resemble traditional hot oatmeal.

For dairy-free options, use plant-based milk alternatives like almond, soy, oat (certified gluten-free), coconut, or rice milk.

Experiment with variations such as adding fresh fruit, cocoa powder for chocolate oats, nut butter for protein, warming spices, shredded coconut for a tropical twist, or lemon zest and poppy seeds.
