Allergy-Friendly Overnight Oats, 9 Ways

Overnight oats are a simple and nutritious breakfast you can enjoy all year round. Here, we list some of our favorite combos you can have during any season.

When Joe and I commuted to work every day, these overnight oats were a daily ritual for us. We would scoop a combination of oats, fruit, different kinds of butter, and seeds into a mason jar. We would place the jars in the fridge and go off to bed.

In the morning, we would get ready, grab our jars out of the fridge (along with our prepped lunch) and travel to work.

Overnight oats are always amazing. They are easy and uncomplicated - throw a bunch of stuff into a jar and let it sit overnight. In the morning, no need to prepare anything. Just grab the jar and go.

I did enjoy to have mine warm. When I would get into the office, I would put mine in the microwave for about 30 seconds. When eating these at home, since we don't own a microwave, I would heat mine in the oven for a couple of minutes. I like to get the nut or seed butter I use to melt throughout the warm, gooey oats.

We have a couple of ways to make our allergy-friendly overnight oats. These 9 variations give you the option to mix and match throughout the week or pair certain flavorings with the season.

For our combinations below, we include the option to add yogurt to your overnight oats. This provides a boost of probiotics to start your morning, but this ingredient is completely optional and can be skipped if you don't need/don't have a safe yogurt you can use, like me.

Each recipe can be prepped ahead of time and sit in the fridge for up to 5 days.
