Pro Tips for the Perfect Gluten-Free Breakfast Bowl

1. Soak the Oats Overnight: If you want an extra creamy texture, soak the oats in almond milk overnight. This reduces cooking time and results in a smoother, more indulgent consistency.
2. Add Protein: Boost the protein content by stirring in a scoop of your favorite gluten-free protein powder or adding Greek yogurt on top.
3. Customize the Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness by using maple syrup, honey, or mashed ripe banana. If you prefer a less sweet option, skip the sweeteners altogether and let the natural fruit flavors shine.
4. Texture Matters: For more crunch, sprinkle extra chia seeds, hemp hearts, or a handful of granola just before serving.
5. Make It Ahead: Prepare the entire bowl the night before and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Just add toppings in the morning for a grab-and-go breakfast.
6. Warm or Cold: Enjoy it warm straight from the pot or try it cold as overnight oats for a refreshing summer breakfast.
7. Experiment with Toppings: Don’t stop at bananas and blueberries. Try strawberries, raspberries, dried coconut, or dark chocolate chips for variety.
8. Use a High-Quality Nut Butter: Natural almond or peanut butter without added sugar or oils will provide a richer flavor and smoother texture.
