Oatmeal for Breakfast

Breakfast just doesn’t get any easier than this easy oatmeal recipe. You dump gluten-free oats into a mason jar or other container, add any flavors, fruits, nuts, even chia seeds. Pick a dairy or non-dairy milk to pour in. Put it into the refrigerator overnight.

You can even use chia seeds to make an overnight Chia Pudding that is delicious for breakfast. This Matcha Green Tea Chia Pudding are both so easy to make!

Gluten Free Oats

As a gluten free family, it is really important for us to eat certified gluten free oats. It isn’t that regular oats contain gluten, but most oats have gluten due to cross-contamination. If you are Celiac or gluten sensitive, look for Bob’s Red Mill Oats and look for their special gluten free label on the packages.

Bob’s Red Mill’s oats are certified gluten free so we can enjoy these safely. Bob’s Red Mill’s gluten free oats are packaged in a 100% gluten free facility and tested every step of the way to ensure their gluten-free status. They also make three varieties of gluten-free oats: Rolled Oats, Quick Oats, and Steel Cut Oats.

I made my overnight oats with almond milk because it adds a protein punch while keeping this breakfast dairy-free.

Oats are not only a versatile grain, but they are rich in daily fiber, which can help reduce cholesterol. I love that oats are not just for breakfast.

You can make both sweet and savory recipes like cookies, granola, and even meatloaf!

**I used no refined sugars in this recipe to keep these overnight oats healthy. You can definitely use other sweeteners, but this works for my family.

Granola Topping

Homemade granola is so easy to make with whole oats. It adds a sweet crunch and gives this overnight oats recipe a fabulous texture! Here are two quick and easy homemade granola recipes for you to try!

You can make a Cinnamon Granola, or try this Cardamom Vegan Granola recipe. Either easy homemade granola recipe would taste delicious with this easy oatmeal breakfast. If you prefer a paleo granola, you will love how easy grain free granola is to make.

This easy overnight oatmeal recipe is so easy to make.

What container is best to make overnight oats?

My favorite container to use is a mason jar. I like that you can screw the lid on, and it is easy to store in the refrigerator. You can also use glass tupperware containers.

Take a mason jar, or other container and add chopped apples and Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Whole Oats. You don’t have to get fancy and make pretty layers since you will be shaking these up after you add the milk.

Add some chia seeds, then the rest of the ingredients. Overnight oats are such a fun recipe to make with your kids!

Shake and put into the refrigerator overnight. (That is it, wake up to a ready-made breakfast! It doesn’t get any easier than this!)

The next morning just open the jar and serve! Your kids are off to school, and they had a quick nutritious breakfast!

You can also change things up in this recipe quite a bit!

Variations and Substitutions:

• Feel free to try a different fruit. I have tried this recipe with fresh peaches, blueberries, and strawberries!
• If you don’t like maple syrup, feel free to substitute coconut sugar or honey.
• If you don’t like chia seeds, you can omit them from this recipe. Add 2 tablespoons additional oats.
• For a hint of spice, add a dash of nutmeg!

Tools You Need to Make This Overnight Oats Recipe:

1. Certified gluten free oats. Make sure your oats are certified gluten-free. Oats are very easily cross-contaminated with wheat so really make sure so you stay safe.
2. Chia seeds. I add some in this recipe for some extra protein.
3. Mason jars. These have so many fun uses. I am starting to store my leftovers in these because they are so easy to fill and close up. They stack in my refrigerator so nicely. Everything can go in the dishwasher.
