Low-FODMAP Almond Joy Overnight Oats; Gluten-free, Vegan

Print Friendly Version

My low-FODMAP Almond Joy overnight oats are super filling, and so good for your body.

More importantly, they are also YUMMY.

This recipe has all the flavors of a favorite candy bar. I like to top mine with chocolate chips, sliced almonds and toasted shredded coconut 🙂

The old-fashioned oats are a great source of fiber and protein, while the chia seeds add additional fiber, antioxidants, minerals and omega-3 fats (beneficial for heart health).

You can prep overnight oats in individual mason jars, all ready to grab them and go in the morning. Enjoy them straight from the fridge, or warmed up in the microwave.

Feel free to double or triple this recipe easily! Low-FODMAP Almond Joy overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for 5 days.

  1. Hits the spot!

    I was craving something sweet that wouldn’t make me feel guilty and this was just right! I made it last minute so I had it hot and it was perfect. The coconut adds great chewiness. Definitely add the sliced almonds on top for a bit of crunch! Thank you!

  2. Do you have any suggestions for making this with steel cut oats? It sounds delicious, but I prefer the chewiness and nutrition of steel cut oats. Thanks for all the great recipes! says:

    1. Thanks for the question!
      Only Quaker brand steel cut oats are listed in the Monash app, with 1/4 cup being one low-FODMAP serving. Bear that in mind, since the recipe calls for 1/2 cup;therefore this would be 2 servings. Also other brands may vary in FODMAP content.
      From the recipe standpoint, you can use the steel cut oats, but the texture may be denser and chewier as a result.
      Good luck!
