    Baked Overnight Oats is one big pan of warm comforting berries, raisins, nuts, and oats that's made the night before and popped into the oven to bake and be enjoyed in the morning. It's the perfect thing for breakfast entertaining. I love having a healthy breakfast that's also such a treat!

    The leftovers are good a few days later, too. They're fine cold if you're in a hurry. If you can warm them up in a covered dish for 10 minutes at 300 degrees F, they're even better. We use our toaster oven. You could reheat the leftovers in a microwave, if you have one. We've been enjoying my test batch for days. This stuff is good!

    Origin of This Baked Overnight Oats Recipe

    We spent Christmas with my daughter and her family. She is a great menu planner, and of course we put special attention into planning the holiday meals. We needed something special for Christmas morning, and she has really been into overnight oats lately. At the same time, this recipe for Overnight Oatmeal Cookie Casserole from Food Bloggers of Canada crossed my screen.

    I made several changes to the FBC recipe, the most important one for me being the certified gluten free oats. Since neither of us is overly fond of bananas (although our husbands love them!), we replaced bananas with berries. I used dairy free milk and raw cane sugar to suit my dietary preferences. Then at home, I tested the recipe again with coconut sugar. The recipe I bring you here is the delicious result of that evolution.

    Are Overnight Oats Gluten Free?

    Overnight oats are gluten free if you make them with certified gluten free oats. The certification is especially important with oats, because without it they have most likely been contaminated by wheat. Read more about that in Start Here.

    How to Serve Overnight Oats

    You can pour your favourite milk over your overnight oats, but I like mine just as is. It's delicious, cozy, and comforting scooped from the pan hot out of the oven. Yum!

    Dairy Free Overnight Oats

    These overnight oats are easily made dairy free by using a dairy free milk such as almond, cashew, or coconut milk. If you really need to avoid all dairy completely, just leave off the butter at the end.

    After years of using dairy free milk on breakfast cereal, I don't actually like the taste of regular milk anymore. I do still like butter, though. Fortunately for me, my problem is with the casein in cows' dairy, so I can still enjoy butter. Yay!
