Notes

Gluten Free Note

If you are celiac, please ensure that your oats are certified gluten free as there can be a lot of cross-contamination in regular oats.

Alternatives

Rolled oats are best for this recipe, they soak up the liquid giving the oats a creamy texture. Instant, steel-cut, and quick-cooking oats don’t turn out the same.

I like to use plain Greek yogurt for this recipe and add a little maple syrup for sweetness. You can also use vanilla Greek yogurt and omit the maple syrup.

These overnight oats can be made with your milk of choice (almond, whole, coconut, etc).

Don’t have pure maple syrup? You can swap for honey or agave syrup.

I’m using espresso powder for the coffee flavor, I don’t recommend using coffee or cold brew. Don't have it? Grind beans or try instant coffee.

Storage

You can store overnight oats in a covered container or jars in the fridge for up to 4 days. I find they taste best between days 1-3. These are perfect to make on Sunday night and eat throughout the week.

Serving Size

Servings says 3 but it depends on what size containers you use. I am using 13-ounce containers for this recipe.
