Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chia seeds, oat milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure everything is fully combined and the oats are evenly coated. Then add in your maple syrup (if using) and stir. * I recommend tasting the batter before adding the maple syrup as different Nutella brands vary in their sweetness levels.
- Then into 4 mason jars or small bowls divide your Nutella oatmeal mixture between them. Top with a dollop of Nutella.
- Cover the jars or bowls and place them in the refrigerator overnight (or for a minimum of 2-3 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the flavors and soften, resulting in a creamy and delightful texture.
- Once set, check the consistency of the oats. If they are too thick, stir in a bit more oat milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Top your Nutella Overnight Oats with your favorite toppings. We suggest trying it with sliced bananas, or chopped hazelnuts!
Notes
We've thoroughly tested this recipe using store-bought Nutella, vegan Nutella, and homemade Nutella, and found that it works wonderfully with each option. However, since the sweetness levels vary among these Nutella versions, we advise tasting the Nutella-oat mixture before adding maple syrup. This approach helps avoid an overly sweet outcome and allows you to adjust the recipe to suit dietary preferences, such as lower sugar content. Your taste buds will thank you for this little tweak!
