Overnight Oats
Here is a yummy overnight oats recipe that Anna and Kate both love. The girls usually have a smoothie for breakfast and we just recently tried out this oats recipe. This can be a delicious gluten-free and dairy-free mid-afternoon snack too. Adding some fresh blueberries, bananas or strawberries on top could be delicious and even more nutritious!
Anna and Kate usually eat a light breakfast since they don’t have a lot of extra time in the mornings on school days. Feel free to adapt the quantity of everything if your family has a bigger appetite. We start with gluten-free oats, then add unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free milk). After that, it is time to be creative!
I’ve added frozen blueberries, coconut flakes and maple syrup to mine. I’ve also made one with almond butter and cinnamon. I might try some different crushed nuts and a protein powder next time. The possibilities are endless. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
½ cup gluten-free oats
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
Directions:
Pour ½ cup of gluten-free oats into a 16 ounce mason jar, or other container with a lid.
Pour ½ cup unsweetened almond milk over the oats.
Put 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on top.
Put 1 teaspoon of honey on top.
Pour 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips on top.
Stir it all up, put the lid on and then shake it all up.
Put the jar in the refrigerator to sit overnight.
Enjoy the next morning for breakfast or for a mid-afternoon sweet snack!
Bon appétit!
