Recipe Summary:
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 0 minutes
- Total Time: 8 hours 10 minutes (overnight)
- Servings: 2
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Sliced almonds (for topping)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, almond butter, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Fold in the fresh blueberries gently to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Divide the mixture equally into two jars or airtight containers. Seal the jars and refrigerate overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and the flavors to meld together.
- When ready to eat, give the oats a good stir, add more almond milk if desired for a looser consistency.
- Top with additional fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of sliced almonds just before serving.
Helpful Tips:
- If you prefer warm oats, simply microwave for 1-2 minutes before adding the toppings.
- For a vegan option, ensure that all your ingredients, especially the almond butter and maple syrup, are certified vegan.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk like oat milk or coconut milk.
Storage Instructions:
These overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure they are sealed tightly in an airtight container to retain their freshness and flavor.
Ingredient Substitutions:
- Swap almond milk with any plant-based milk if you have dietary restrictions or preferences.
- Use honey or agave syrup in place of maple syrup.
- Replace chia seeds with flaxseeds if desired.
