Easy peazy Overnight Oats – Gluten Free & Vegan Edition

Overnight oats is one of my go-to breakfast meals. It’s easy to make and yet so tasty and can sustain me for most of the morning. It’s a simple recipe and takes less than 30 minutes to make.

INGREDIENTS

  • ½ cup Quaker Gluten Free Quick Oats (can use rolled oats or steel cut)
  • ½ cup of unsweetened almond milk (any non-dairy or nut milk of your choice)
  • 1 tbsp almond butter (any nut butter of your choice)
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract/essence
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ banana, sliced (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 or 2 tbsp blueberries

INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a small bowl or small mason jar (16oz or 500ml) add the oats, salt, cinnamon, and mix it all together.
  2. Add almond milk, honey, and almond butter to the oat mixture. Stir it all together, but not completely, especially if you like your almond butter bits in your overnight oats.
  3. Add the sliced banana on top and then top it off with the frozen blueberries.
  4. Seal the bowl or cover the mason jar with the lid and store in the refrigerator overnight for it to set or for up to 5-6 hours.

NOTES

For a warm option: If you are not a fan of having cold overnight oats, you can warm it up in a small saucepan/pot for about 1 minute at medium heat. Add more liquid to prevent the oats from getting dry and thick and there you go – tasty overnight oats.

Enjoy!
