    If you are someone who struggles to find a grab-and-go healthy breakfast then you will love these gluten free cinnamon apple overnight oats. This recipe takes 5 minutes to put together and then leave in the refrigerator ready for when you need them. They are a perfect batch breakfast recipe, As the recipe makes one serving just multiply ingredients for how many servings you need and they will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge.

    I've got to say that my favorite flavors are those found in fall and I wanted to base this recipe on my love for apple pie and this gluten free apple cinnamon overnight oats recipe did not disappoint. It is always a winner when I can use fresh fruits in any recipe just like my gluten free blueberry banana bread recipe that is also made in advance and works well for a quick gluten free breakfast on the go.

    Why make this recipe?

    There are so many reasons why you should make this recipe that I have made a list to highlight some of the best reasons to make these gluten free apple overnight oats.

    • Healthy but delicous breakfast, high in fibre keeping you full for longer.
    • Easy make in advance breakfast that only take 5 minutes to put together.
    • The recipe is easily adapatable to make multiple portions. Perfect batch breakfast idea.
    • A great grab and go breakfast or snack option.
    • Easily add in your prefered protein powder.
    • Oats are full of nutrients and have many benefits such as reducing bad cholesterol.

    Are oats gluten free?

    Oats are usually naturally gluten free but due to the risk of cross-contamination during the processing or storing they may come into contact with gluten-containing grains such as wheat, rye, or barley. Some brands do have gluten-free oats which have been processed and packaged separately to ensure that they are gluten-free oats. Although some people with gluten sensitivity or celiacs disease still may not be able to tolerate them for more information you can check out the information from Beyond Celiac if you want to explore this further. I always recommend using oats that are labeled gluten free.

    Ingredients & equipment needed for this recipe

    gluten free apple overnight oats labeled ingredients

    INGREDIENTS  

    • Gluten free oats - Use oats that are labeled gluten free these are usually sold in all main stream supermarkets.
    • Milk - Use your preferred regular milk. You can make dairy free overnight oats by using your preferred dairy free milk or almond milk.
    • Greek yogurt - If you require vegan overnight oats use your preferred dairy free vegan yogurt to make this recipe.
    • Maple syrup - Adds natural sweetness to the oats, honey also works well with this recipe if you don't have any maple syrup to hand. You can easily adjust the recipe to add more or less maple syrup based on your preferred taste.
    • Cinnamon - gives it that apple pie overnight oats flavor that I love. I added ½ teaspoon as anymore and I felt that it overpowered the apple flavor.
    • Red apple - Use a fresh large red apple. I used pink lady apples but any variety of red apple will work well. I chopped into small cubes as I prefer small chunchs of apple in every spoonful but if you prefer a smoother texture you could grate the apple instead.

    Instructions

    Recipe steps

    • oats in a mason jar
    • chopped apple added to the oats in the glass mason like jar
    • Add the oats to your mason jar or bowl.
    • In the jar mix the milk with the oats.
    • Add the chopped apple into the oat mixture.
    • cinnamon, yogurt added on top of the chopped apple in the mason jar

    • Add maple syrup, yogurt, and cinnamon into the oat mixture.
    • Seal the jar or cover the bowl with clingfilm and store it in the refrigerator overnight.
    • After at least 6 hours the apple overnight oats are ready to eat straight from the fridge or top with additional greek yoghurt and sliced apple if desired.

    Additional topping and ingredients

    If I have time in the morning I like to top with additional sliced apple and yogurt. Other toppings or additional ingredients that work well with gluten-free cinnamon apple oats are:

    • Chopped nuts
    • Gluten free granola
    • Chia seeds
    • Protein powders
    • Chocolate sauce
    • Peanut butter

    Recipe FAQs

    Are Oats gluten free?

    Oats are naturally gluten-free but due to the risk of cross-contamination during the processing or storing they may come into contact with gluten-containing grains such as wheat, rye, or barley. Some brands do have gluten-free oats which have been processed and packaged separately. They are labeled and certified gluten free.

    Can I make a larger portion?

    Yes, This recipe makes one portion but you can multiply the ingredients by how many portions you require. This makes it easy to make a few days in advance.

    How to store overnight oats?

    They are best stored in an airtight jar or container such as a mason jar with a lid and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Perfect to make in advance for a quick nutritious on-the-go breakfast or snack.

    Do I need to peel the apple?

    I didn't peel the apple as I like the skin but you can peel the apple before adding to the oats if you prefer your apple peeled.

    Can I heat up overnight oats?

    I feel that they are best eaten cold and make a great gluten-free summer breakfast but if you want to try heated overnight oats just heat them in the microwave for a few seconds with the lid off as you might prefer them slightly warmed for a winter breakfast in the colder months.
