Prior to getting lower to brass tacks with this particular recipe for overnight oatmeal (that is really more an idea than the usual recipe, to tell the truth), let’s acquire one factor taken care of: Should you’re wondering, is oatmeal gluten-free, the reply is &... this will depend. Should you’re using certified gluten-free oatmeal, a minimum of within the U.S. then yes, they’re gluten-free. Oatmeal aren't a gluten-that contains grain, even though they are often contaminated with gluten. To learn more, please visit my Ultimate Help Guide To Going Gluten-free .
Overnight oatmeal are kind of a phenomenon which i opposed for a lot too lengthy. I've an oatmeal-loving family. But making oatmeal which has the right creamy consistency (not very wet, not very dry) and it is ready on the busy week day morning is a challenge. Overnight oatmeal would be the answer. Even my fussiest eater is happy with the consistency, overnight oatmeal are simply about as nutritious in general grain gluten-free breakfast could be, also it’s quite simple to produce different flavor variations. Plus, they’re more filling than even traditional oatmeal, because of the inclusion of ground chia seeds or flaxmeal. The fundamental idea is a straightforward one: traditional folded oatmeal soak overnight within an roughly equal mount of the favorite milk, having a pinch of salt contributing to 1 tablespoon of ground chia seeds or flaxmeal (you can purchase chia seeds whole and grind them yourself inside a blender or coffee grinder easily). I purchase my certified gluten-free oatmeal, plus my chia seeds (and milk!) at Trader Joe’s. Overnight, the oatmeal absorb the moisture in the milk and also the chia or flax helps you to gel the mix. It makes sense creamy, but never mushy, oatmeal.
I've found the texture and flavor would be best whenever you don’t add any fruit, whether dried or fresh, until soon before serving—with one notable exception. The blueberry flavor variety is made from a mashed blueberry that can help thicken and flavor the oatmeal because they soak.
Certainly one of my personal favorite flavors is chocolate peanut butter, created using smooth peanut butter and cacao powder. Serve it with extra peanut butter, capped with a few chopped peanuts and miniature choc chips. One combination I haven’t attempted yet, though, is peanut butter blueberry overnight oatmeal. It works with 3/4 cup milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground chia seeds, 1 large ripe mashed blueberry, two tablespoons peanut butter, 3/4 cup oatmeal, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of honey or pure walnut syrup. Check it out!
Ultimately, my go-to flavor variation may be the yogurt variation below, having a strawberry syrup accustomed to replace a minimum of two tablespoons from the milk and plain dairy yogurt. It’s very gently sweet, having a really enjoyable sour flavor in the plain yogurt. I serve it (to myself) with extra strawberry syrup and under a tablespoon of walnut syrup.
Oh, did I forget to say my quite simple recipe for strawberry syrup? Just hulled fresh or frozen bananas, a a little water, a pinch of salt and a little bit of sugar, cooked before the bananas start to break lower. It takes approximately a few minutes to create, and keeps within the refrigerator not less than per week (details within the recipe below).

Hi, Maggie, I'd certainly make the walnuts before eating, as walnuts really are a rather soft nut to start with and soaking them overnight would create an uncomfortable consistency. I’d also place the craisins in before serving, unless of course you like the thought of the becoming plump overnight. That certain’s your decision!

Nicole, Is it necessary to use chia seeds or flax meal to ensure that this to thicken? Would you allow it to be with only the oatmeal and milk?
