Overnight Oats

These overnight oats check every box: easy, nourishing, and completely customizable based on what’s in your pantry. Made with gluten-free oats, dairy-free milk, and natural sources of sweetness like banana or berries, this recipe delivers slow-burning energy instead of a sugar crash. The chia seeds and nut butter add fiber and healthy fats to keep your blood sugar steady all morning.
