My fresh and fun relationship with overnight oats continues. This time, I am giving you the recipe for my – yet favourite – overnight oats recipe and this time, I used gluten free rolled oats. Of course, you can do it with regular rolled oats too, if you want.

 

 

 

I saw the original recipe for these overnight oats on thekitchn.com. I liked the idea very much but I wanted to change it a little. First of all, I converted all sorts of flour, sugar etc. to coconut versions. However, instead of coconut yogurt in the recipe, I just used coconut milk. Second, I used gluten free rolled oats instead of regular. And finally, I skipped vanilla extract in the overnight part, but you can add some if you want.

 

 

Last Saturday, on February 11th, I organised a completely gluten free “yoga brunch” with Essi Nousu from “Elämä on Joogaa” at Hietsun Paviljonki, by Hietaniemi beach.. I served these overnight oats there and people loved them!

 

 

You can make many different versions of this recipe as you like. You can add different kinds of jams, extra fruits or, as Essi suggested, maybe even some ground cardamoms! In any case, you will get delicious, easy and healthy breakfast! Enjoy!
