Gluten Free Brownie Batter Overnight Oats - Easy Breakfast Recipe

These gluten free brownie batter overnight oats are rich, chocolatey and creamy, with the delicious flavour of brownie batter in an easy make-ahead breakfast. They are a breakfast I have come to make at least once a week, I am not a fan of the "traditional" overnight oats but found I loved them made this way. They're made with simple ingredients including gluten free oats, cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, chia seeds and milk, with optional peanut butter adding even more richness and flavour.

They're also a great option if you want a high protein gluten free breakfast that will keep you feeling full through the morning. The chia seeds add fibre too, while the cocoa gives these overnight oats their deep chocolate flavour.

I like to give mine a quick blitz with a stick blender before putting them in the fridge. It makes the oats smoother and gives them more of a brownie batter consistency, although you can skip this step if you prefer your overnight oats with more texture.

Make them before bed, pop them in the fridge overnight and breakfast is ready to go in the morning. I love topping mine with frozen cherries, but raspberries or your favourite fruit work just as well.

My Tips

• The more cocoa the richer the flavour so feel free to double if you want to but remember to counteract the bitterness with extra honey and also a touch more milk
• Peanut butter is optional, it gives an extra richness and protein boost but it works great either way
• Make sure you leave AT LEAST 8 hour, they really do need to soak, and will stay in the fridge up to a couple of days
• Try whatever toppings you like, fruit, nutella, nuts, pistachio creme....
