What Do I Need To Make Blueberry Banana Overnight Oats?
- Gluten free oats: You want to find a brand that is steel cut and gluten free.
- Blueberries: I recommend using fresh instead of frozen.
- Dairy free yogurt: I like the brand So Delicious. You can use any brand that doesn’t include added sugar.
- Dairy free milk: I prefer almond milk, but you can use any kind of non-dairy milk.
- Whole ripe banana: You want to choose one that is ripe and yellow.
- Almond slivers: These add wonderful crunch on top.
- Almond butter: You can substitute peanut butter or another kind of nut butter if you prefer.
- Cinnamon: Great for adding flavor.
- Dates: These will sweeten the oats.
Can I Use Other Ingredients?
- There are a few ways you can customize your dairy free overnight oats based on your tastes and preferences.
- If you prefer a different type of nut butter, feel free to use that instead of almond butter. For a little extra sweetness and flavor, you can add a drizzle of honey on top.
- Want to add some protein to jump start your morning? Add a scoop or two of your favorite paleo friendly protein powder when you’re mixing everything together in the food processor.
