You may have heard the saying that ‘breakfast is the most important meal of the day’ and what a better way to start your day with a nourishing, delicious and easy to make low FODMAP meal. Taking no longer than 5 minutes to make, these overnight oats are best to make the night before, allowing enough time for the delicious flavours to develop. Whether you are dropping your children off at school, or running late for a meeting, grab a spoon and your overnight oats jar from the fridge, and breakfast is served.
This recipe has been adapted slightly from the traditional overnight oats recipe, substituting lactose containing milk for lactose free milk, as well as adjusting the maple syrup content to make sure that it is considered low FODMAP.
Our overnight oats recipe is something which can be individually tailored to taste preferences. Whether you add a hint of cinnamon and banana for extra flavour, or berries and peanut butter, we encourage you to explore the different flavours through experimenting. We have developed two topping options for you to trial, but remember you can adjust and change as you please. Just remember to make sure you choose low FODMAP topping options, and stick to the recommended serving sizes.
