    grain free overnight oats recipe for pinterest

    We love the overnight oats craze. However, I was looking for something low carb & easy to prep. But I was always out of an ingredient- usually, the milk or nut-milks required to make them. So I developed a recipe for meal prepping my oatmeal that just requires water!

    Please read the entire post for tips and tricks to ensure a perfect recipe every time. And don't forget to tag @peelwithzeal on Instagram so we can admire your creation!

    I make a large batch- at least 8 servings- and the recipe uses coconut milk powder instead of milk. I did this to make the recipe shelf-stable for meal preppers while ensuring the final product is still creamy and delicious.

    If you are avoiding coconut but eat dairy then regular milk powder works fine as well.

    There is a lot to talk about when it comes to overnight oats and instant vs. regular. But we covered all that and more in our everything about overnight oats post.

    In that post, we also review our 3 other instant overnight oat blends. But let's be honest- you are just here for the grain-free- am I right? These are definitely worth checking out if you want to try something new!

    How to Make Single Serving Instant "NOatmeal"

    We get it, not everyone is into meal prepping. If you just want to make one single serving of "no"atmeal combine the below ingredients and store in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

    • 2 tablespoon chia
    • 2 tablespoon shredded coconut
    • 2 tablespoon slivered almonds
    • 1 tablespoon Coconut milk powder, or Nido milk powder
    • 1 tablespoon Hemp Heart
    • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar, optional
    • 1 teaspoon Flaxseed, ground
    • 1 teaspoon Maca Powder (gelatinized)
    • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¾ C water

    If you don't have dry milk powder, substitute the powder and water for ¾ c milk, regular or non-dairy.

    So what mix ins make the best overnight oats?
