    🫙 Equipment

    • Mason jar. One of the things we love most about this recipe is that you can assemble it in the vessel you will use to eat it. You won't have a bunch of dishes to clean!

    You will also need:

    • Liquid measuring cups.
    • Measuring spoons.
    • Chef's knife. This is used to slice the strawberries or other fresh fruit you might like to use.

    ℹ️ Substitutions

    • Gluten Free. While rolled oats are naturally gluten free, some are processed in a facility that is used to process foods that contain gluten. For truly gluten free overnight oats, we recommend Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Old Fashioned Rolled Oats. They are processed in a 100% gluten free facility and are certified to be gluten free.
    • Sugar Free. For a sugar free honey substitute, we suggest giving Nature's Hollow sugar free honey substitute a try.
    • Milk. Of course, you can always use regular milk in this recipe if you prefer.

    🌡️ Storage

    This recipe is best assembled the night before and eaten the next morning. We don't recommend storing it for more than one night. For storage overnight, be sure to securely cover the jar with the lid that came with the jar.

    You can serve this recipe hot or cold. To heat, remove the lid (this is very important if the lid is metal), and heat in the microwave on high for 30 to 60 seconds. If it's not heated through, stir and continue heating until heated to your liking. Stir in fresh berries and top with berries, seeds, chopped nuts, or granola. Some of the toppings that we suggest for smoothie bowls could work here as well.
