Instructions
- In a clean mason jar or medium-sized bowl, pour the 1/2 cup of gluten-free rolled oats as the base of your overnight oats.

- In the morning, remove the overnight oats from the refrigerator and give them a quick stir to redistribute any settled ingredients.
- Top with fresh seasonal fruits like berries, sliced bananas, or diced apples for added flavor and nutrition.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional toppings like chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of extra honey if desired.
- Enjoy your gluten-free overnight oats cold, or warm slightly in the microwave for 30-45 seconds if you prefer a warm breakfast.
Tips
- Mix it Up: Feel free to experiment with different types of milk, such as coconut or oat milk, to find your favorite flavor combination.
- Sweeten to Taste: Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less honey or maple syrup, or try using mashed ripe bananas for a natural sweetener.
