How long do overnight oats last?

They remain fresh for four days, refrigerated in a sealed container.

Can you eat overnight oats hot?

Yes! Lightly heat when ready to serve.

Are oats gluten-free?

Oats are naturally gluten-free. The issue is more cross-contamination. Oats that are labeled gluten-free have been grown in fields that have not grown gluten grains and processed with gluten-free equipment, including gluten-free trucks. If you have a sensitivity, it is best to avoid bulk bins as cross-contamination is hard to avoid.
