Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this Top 8 Allergen Free?

As long as you use gluten free oats, then this recipe is already Top 8 Allergen Free.

Most oats are already gluten free, but if you are very sensitive to gluten, then you will want to make sure that you choose a certified gluten free brand.

What are the best types of oats for overnight oats?

Rolled oats, sometimes called old fashioned oats are the best option. They soak up the liquid well without getting soggy or taking a long time to soak.

Do not use quick oats unless you are eating immediately. They get too soggy and aren’t good if you let them sit for a long time.

Can I prep these ahead?

Yes! Once you make the entire container up, they will last up to 5 days in the fridge stored in air tight containers.

What are the best containers for overnight oats.

Wide mouth mason jars are best for overnight oats. They are easy to mix in and with the air tight lids, they make the perfect option for transporting.

Should these vegan brownie overnight oats be served hot or cold?

Overnight oats are meant to be an option that are served cold so you can eat them on the go.

However, you can totally warm them up if you desire.

What are good toppings for vegan brownie overnight oats?

Cherries, pitted, are absolutely delicious with the brownie overnight oats.

However, you can get creative with any of your favorite brownie combinations like chopped walnuts or a vegan caramel sauce if you want a treat!
