Ingredients
- Meyenberg Goat Milk - Goat’s milk is packed with protein, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. It’s easier to digest than cow’s milk. It’s also less processed than both cow’s milk and plant-based milk as it’s naturally homogenized. Goat’s milk has smaller-sized fat particles which produce a smaller, softer curd that is more rapidly broken down by stomach enzymes than dairy milk. Many people that have cow’s milk sensitivities don’t experience the same with goat’s milk.
- Rolled Oats - Oats have more protein than most grains, allowing you to stay full and fueled longer. The Beta-glucan soluble fiber promotes gut health while also being shown to lower cholesterol. It’s high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
- Yogurt - Yogurt along with goat milk helps soften the oats. It’s high in protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, and calcium. In addition, it’s also excellent for gut health because of the live probiotics.
- Maple Syrup - Adds natural sweetness without making these overnight oats too sweet. It’s also lower on the glycemic index than table sugar.
- Cinnamon - Not only does cinnamon add instant warmth to these oats, but it’s packed with nutritional benefits of its own. It’s a natural anti-inflammatory. It’s rich in antioxidants as well as potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
- Chia Seeds - Chia seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. They make you feel full longer. They’ve proven to help improve blood sugar levels and also reduce inflammation.

FAQ
How long can I store overnight oats in the refrigerator?
These will last for up to five days in the refrigerator. However, their best texture is in the first day or two because they will still have that slightly toothsome bite. As they continue to sit the oats will continue to soften.
Are overnight oats gluten-free?
Rolled oats are naturally gluten-free as are all of the ingredients in this recipe. However, oats can be processed with wheat, rye, and barley. More companies are processing their oats in dedicated gluten-free facilities and they will be labeled as such.
