    Gluten Free Overnight Oats (Muesli)

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Gluten free Overnight oats is a healthy grab-and-go breakfast for work, a mid day snack or even a road trip. Made with safe, gluten-free whole oats, everything else is naturally gluten free. Switch up the fruit to add variety plus take advantage of fruit in season.

    Overnight Oats is the modern day version of muesli. Invented by a Swiss doctor more than 100 years ago as a healthy breakfast for his malnourished patients. This breakfast has stood the test of time. I like both, creamy overnight oats and dry, crunchy granola. Having both ready to choose from makes for a great week of breakfasts.

    • Gluten Free Overnight Oats (Muesli)

    Ingredients

    Soaked in a mixture that includes milk or yogurt, overnight oats are creamy. Once you've made them a few times you might want to try the variations below or stick to this fresh tasting, citrusy concoction.

    All the ingredients to make overnight oats; Apple, orange juice, nuts, yogurt, honey, lemon juice and certified gluten free oats.
    • Certified gluten free whole oats - I like the texture of whole oats. If you're new to gluten free and are wondering about oats, check out this post, Gluten Free Whole Oats vs Quick Oats.
    • Orange juice - Although there are substitutions I like the citrus taste. We don't drink juice so I keep frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer for recipes like this.
    • Apple - Grated apple pairs with the orange juice to make a fresh citrus taste.
    • Almonds - I like the crunch, taste and an extra boost of protein with the addition of nuts in this version of overnight oats.
    • Plain yogurt - I like the texture and thickness of these oats by using yogurt rather than milk.
    • Toppings - Any fresh or frozen fruit.

    See recipe card for exact amounts.

    Substitutions

    • Orange juice - Substitute with any juice or milk.
    • Apple - Substitute with diced apples if you prefer.
    • Almonds - Substitute with different nuts, seeds, a combination of them or omit them.
    • Plain yogurt - Substitute with milk for a thinner version of overnight oats. Coconut yogurt or other plant based options work too.

    Variations of Overnight Oats

    I usually make this exact recipe and change the fruits I put on top. If you're adventurous try some of these popular flavour combinations or make up your own.

    • Peanut Butter & Banana
    • Peanut Butter & Chocolate
    • Coconut & Mango
    • Maple & Pecan
    • Lemon & Blueberry
    • Pumpkin Spice
    • Coffee & Chocolate

    Storage

    Overnight oats will last in the fridge for a full week. Add fresh or frozen fruit right when you make it.

    Top Tip

    Portion single servings directly into Mason jars with leak proof plastic lids. My system of jars uses seven different sizes with only two lids. If that sounds exciting to you check out this post, Organize for Success with Mason Jars. Don't under estimate the value of a good system.
