| 6.00 hours |
Ingredients
0.75 cup almond milk
2 Tbsp almond butter
1 Tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp chia seeds
0.5 tsp vanilla
0.5 cup oats- 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 pinch salt
Cookware
- 1 mason jar
- 1 spoon
Instructions
Step 1
To a mason jar or small bowl with a lid, add almond milk (or other milk of choice), almond butter, maple syrup (or other sweetener), chia seeds, and vanilla and stir with a spoon to combine and distribute the almond butter evenly.
Step 2
Add oats, cocoa powder, and salt (optional) and mix well to incorporate the cocoa powder. Then press down with a spoon to ensure all oats have been moistened and are immersed in almond milk.
Step 3
Cover securely with a lid or seal and set in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to set/soak.
Step 4
The next day, open and enjoy as is or garnish with desired toppings (see suggestions above).
Step 5
OPTIONAL: You can also heat your oats in the microwave for 45-60 seconds (just ensure there’s enough room at the top of your jar to allow for expansion and prevent overflow and that you’ve used a microwave-safe jar or bowl), or transfer oats to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until warmed through. Add more liquid as needed if oats get too thick/dry.
Step 6
Overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, though best within the first 12-24 hours in our experience. Not freezer friendly.
