Equipment

  • Jars with lids
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • To prepare these almond butter overnight oats you'll need:
  • - 1 cup rolled oats
  • - 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • - 1 cup almond milk
  • - 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • - 1 tablespoon cocoa powder for that extra rich flavor
  • To Serve:
  • - ½ cup fresh raspberries
  • - 1 additional tablespoon almond butter

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Jars

  • Grab two small jars with tight-fitting lids. I like using mason jars—perfect for this recipe and they cute too!

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and cocoa powder. This will give your oats a satisfying texture and a rich flavor profile.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

  • Now, add the almond milk, almond butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the dry mixture. Without mixing yet, admire how the creamy almond butter sits atop the oats, almost like a beautiful sunset.

Step 4: Combine and Mix

  • Stir the mixture until everything is well integrated. You want every oat coated with liquid goodness. Honestly, it’s hard not to take a little taste at this stage—it's divine!

Step 5: Shake It Up

  • Seal the jars with the lids. Shake them vigorously. This ensures that all the ingredients are evenly dispersed. It’s like giving your breakfast a little dance party!

Step 6: Let Them Set

  • Pop the jars in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or ideally, overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, creating that creamy texture we love.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

  • In the morning, give your overnight oats a good stir. Top with fresh raspberries and a little drizzle of almond butter. Sit back, and savor the deliciousness!

Notes
