Overnight Oats Berries Almond Butter (Print)

Wholesome oats soaked overnight topped with fresh berries and almond butter for an easy nourishing start.

# Ingredients:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 2 teaspoons chia seeds
04 - 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup or honey
05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of salt

→ Toppings

07 - 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
08 - 2 tablespoons almond butter
09 - 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, optional

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed throughout.
02 - Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid completely.
03 - In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.
04 - Divide oats between two bowls or jars. Top each portion with mixed berries, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, and sliced almonds if using.
05 - Serve immediately, or cover and keep chilled until ready to eat.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • Zero morning cooking means you can actually sit down with your coffee instead of hovering over a stove.
  • It tastes like dessert for breakfast but keeps you full until lunch without the crash.
02 -
  • Don't skimp on the overnight chilling time because oats need those hours to properly absorb liquid and transform from grainy into creamy.
  • If your mixture seems soupy in the morning, the chia seeds are still working and will thicken things up within a few minutes of sitting.
03 -
  • Mix everything the night before except berries and almond butter, adding those in the morning so they stay fresh and the berries don't get soggy.
  • If you're making multiple jars, keep a small container of extra milk in the fridge for quick adjustments because consistency varies based on how thirsty your oats are.
