Warm your insides with Gluten-Free Gingerbread Overnight Oats. These gingerbread oats have the perfect amount of spice with subtle hints of ginger and molasses throughout.
Ginger. Cinnamon. Molasses. Oh my! I love that it’s officially fall. I’m inspired by the seasons and I find that some of my best recipe development happens with the change in each one.
This post was originally shared in October of 2015, but I just couldn’t help refreshing it. It’s one of my favorite overnight oats recipes.
When I think of the flavors of fall I think of pumpkin, cinnamon, gingerbread, nutmeg, and peppermint (but not all together at the same time – that would be a weird concoction).
Right now I’m inspired to create new recipes using the many spices and ingredients that give us the unique flavors of gingerbread. So you may see a few recipes in the next few months that fall in the gingerbread food category. Because gingerbread is its own category right?
This week proved to be extremely busy and I found myself inclined to prepare some meals in advance knowing how hectic it could be. I prepared a couple of grab-and-go breakfasts, including this delicious gluten-free gingerbread overnight oats.
These gluten-free gingerbread overnight oats deliver some of the many flavors of fall and have a subtle molasses taste – finished with some of my favorite spices – cinnamon and ginger. They are gluten-free, refined-sugar free, and dairy-free and are quit filling if I do say so myself.
If you like these gingerbread oats, you might also like my Overnight Paleo Porridge or my One Bowl Grain-Free Cereal. If you are looking for another overnight oats recipe, Brianna from Flippin Delicious has an incredible recipe for Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats.

I’m allergic to oats, but I’m gonna have to try this out on my kiddos. 😉 It sounds delicious!

Try it with quinoa flakes, I have tried many different recipes that call for oats and replaced them with quinoa flakes. Not tried this yet.

Ahhhh! I love gingerbread flavors, especially as the weather cools off. This looks like a great way to start your day off with a hearty breakfast that’s tasty as well. I love how simple overnight oats are to make while providing a depth of flavor. It was lovely to find your blog through Gluten Free Fridays, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

If I don’t use the sugar will it make much difference? Would honey work instead?
chrystal says
You can use your sweetener of choice in this recipe 🙂
