PEANUT BUTTER QUINOA AND OATS Recipe (Low Fodmap)

Warm porridge is just the ticket on winter mornings, but in summer, I usually crave something cooler. Enter this overnight oats recipe! To keep the recipe low-FODMAP, I replaced half of the oats with quinoa flakes, which are generally more tolerable. I admit it: Sometimes I don’t care for the slightly bitter taste of quinoa flakes, but I don’t notice it at all in this flavorful recipe.

I use powdered peanut butter here because it’s so much lower in fat, but regular peanut butter will work fine, too. And the chia seeds help make the mixture pleasantly thick and creamy.
