Preparation

Chef’s notes

Make it gluten free:
Use certified gluten-free oats.
Make it vegan:
Choose one of the dairy-free milk options listed above. If adding additional sweetener, use maple syrup instead of honey.
Make it nut free:
Omit the nut butter or replace it with sunbutter.
Warm it up:
Overnight oats are typically served chilled. However, if you prefer warm oats, you can heat them in the microwave. Just use a microwave-safe jar and stir frequently while warming.
