Ingredients
½cuprolled oats
1Tablespoonalmond butterplus 1 more Tablespoon to drizzle as toppings
1teaspoonmaple syrup
½cupalmond milkor any other plant-based milk
1teaspoonchia seeds(optional, see notes)
½bananasliced or mashed, for toppings (optional, see notes)
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients together. It's okay if the almond butter isn't completely dissolved as that will give you almond butter ‘chunks’.However, if you prefer smooth texture, mix the peanut butter and milk first, before adding the rest of the ingredients.You can do this in a large bowl, and then portioning them out later. Or do this in separate jars for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, overnight, or up to 3 days in advance.
Just before serving, drizzle 1 more Tablespoon of almond butter and add any desired toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
For creamier oats, add yogurt and/or mashed banana! I find that ¼ cup of either yogurt/mashed banana works best, but feel free to adjust to your liking.
The chia seeds will make the texture more solid and adds a bit of a bite to the overnight oats, but feel free to skip or substitute with flax seeds.
If you're using banana, you can either:
Stir in some mashed banana with the rest of the ingredients (like what I did in the pictures)
Slice the banana and use it as toppings!
Note that it’s totally normal that the oats get a bit slimy because natural starch is released when oats are mixed with water.
