Print Recipe

A quick and nourishing overnight oats recipe designed to help manage gestational diabetes with balanced carbs, fiber, and natural sweetness from cinnamon and berries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh or frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sweetener (optional, such as stevia or erythritol, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Combine 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds in a jar or bowl.
  2. Add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract; mix well.
  3. Pour in 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk and stir until evenly mixed.
  4. Add 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt for extra creaminess (optional) and stir gently.
  5. Fold in 1/2 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries.
  6. Add sweetener if desired, tasting before refrigerating.
  7. Seal the jar or bowl tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  8. In the morning, stir the oats well, add a splash of almond milk if too thick, and serve cold or warmed slightly in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

Notes

Stir oats and chia seeds well before refrigerating to prevent clumps. Use unsweetened almond milk for low carbs and mild flavor. Frozen berries release juice that naturally sweetens the oats. Prepare at least 6 hours ahead, preferably overnight. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days. Avoid freezing to maintain texture.
