Instructions

1 In a large bowl or individual jars, combine the gluten-free oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices and seeds.
2 Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring no clumps of yogurt remain.
3 Gently fold in most of the chopped pecans, reserving a small amount for topping. Stir them in until they are evenly dispersed throughout the oat mixture.
4 Divide the mixture evenly among four jars or containers. Cover each container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
5 Before serving, give the overnight oats a quick stir. Top with the reserved chopped pecans and an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired. Enjoy this creamy and satisfying breakfast chilled.

Tips & Notes

Start with oats that carry a gluten-free label. Oats without one are commonly handled alongside other grains during harvest and milling.
Toast the reserved pecans in a dry pan for 3 to 4 minutes before topping each jar. Toasted pecans on top taste closer to pecan pie than the soft ones mixed through the jar.
Whisk the Greek yogurt with the maple syrup and vanilla before you add the almond milk. Loosening it first stops small clumps of yogurt from setting in the cold mix overnight.
