Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 1-2 tablespoons Maple Syrup or Honey
  • 1/2 Apple, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped Walnuts or Pecans (optional)

Combining the Ingredients

In a jar or container with a lid, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (or honey), diced apple, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

Mixing Well

Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined.

Refrigerating Overnight

Cover the jar or container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours. This allows the oats to soften and the flavors to meld together.

Serving

In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir. If they are too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with chopped walnuts or pecans (if using).

Enjoy!

Enjoy your delicious and convenient apple cinnamon gluten-free overnight oats straight from the jar or transfer them to a bowl.
