Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk (any milk works, can also use water)
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 3 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats
- 2 tbsp Almond Butter (more for drizzling on top)
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Toppings
- 1-2 Bananas (sliced, for topping)
- Sliced Almonds (for topping)
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and maple syrup until well combined and smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the old fashioned oats, almond butter, and cinnamon until the mixture is evenly combined. If your almond butter is hard, warm it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds before mixing to help it incorporate better.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Transfer the mixture into an airtight container or individual mason jars. Refrigerate for at least 5-8 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and thicken.
- Serve and Garnish: When ready to eat, scoop the oats into a bowl or enjoy directly from the jar. Drizzle extra almond butter on top and garnish with sliced bananas and a sprinkle of sliced almonds for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk or water depending on your dietary preferences.
- Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing maple syrup according to taste.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
- Feel free to add other toppings such as berries, shredded coconut, or nuts.
