This easy and versatile overnight oats recipe is perfect for fall RVing, as it requires no cooking, can be prepared in advance, and is a hearty, nutritious way to start crisp mornings on the road.

Prep Time: 6 hours, 5 minutes

Total Time: 6 hours, 5 minutes

Ingredients:

▢ 1/2 cup unsweetened plain almond milk (or sub other dairy-free milks, such as coconut, soy, or hemp!)

▢ 3/4 Tbsp Chia Seeds

▢ 2 Tbsp natural salted peanut butter or almond butter (creamy or crunchy // or sub other nut or seed butter)

▢ 1 Tbsp maple syrup (or sub coconut sugar, organic brown sugar, or stevia to taste)

▢ 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats (rolled oats are best, vs. steel cut or quick cooking)

Toppings Optional

Sliced banana, strawberries, or raspberries
Flaxseed meal or additional chia seeds
Granola

Instructions:

1. To a mason jar or small bowl with a lid, add almond milk, chia seeds, peanut butter, and maple syrup (or other sweetener) and stir with a spoon to combine. The peanut butter doesn’t need to be completely mixed with the almond milk (doing so leaves swirls of peanut butter to enjoy the next day).

2. Add oats and stir a few more times. Then press down with a spoon to ensure all oats have been moistened and are immersed in almond milk.

3. Cover securely with a lid or seal and set in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to set/soak.

4. The next day, open and enjoy as is or garnish with desired toppings (see options above). See more flavor/topping suggestions in the blog post above!

OPTIONAL: You can also heat your oats in the microwave for 45-60 seconds (just ensure there’s enough room at the top of your jar to allow for expansion and prevent overflow), or transfer oats to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until warmed through. Add more liquid as needed if oats get too thick/dry.

Overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, though best within the first 12-24 hours in our experience. Not freezer friendly.

Can you use quick oats?
We prefer using rolled oats to make overnight oats, but you can use quick oats – they will just be softer.

Can you use steel cut oats?
Though we haven’t tried it, some people report success using steel cut oats to make overnight oats. They will take longer, require more liquid, and probably won’t be quite as soft. They may also be more difficult to digest.

Are oats gluten-free?
This is somewhat controversial as some believe even certified gluten-free oats to be troublesome for those with gluten sensitivities and celiac disease. But based on our own research and experience, it seems certified gluten-free oats make this recipe gluten-free.
