Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats regular or gluten-free
  • 1 cup vanilla almond milk unsweetened or dairy-free milk of choice
  • 1 tsp almond butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • dash sea salt
  • 2 tsp sliced almonds optional
  • 5-7 cherries fresh or frozen, sliced, optional

Instructions

Stepwise Method: Vegan Overnight Oats

  • Gather your ingredients and gear to make the process smoother and faster.
  • In your glass jar or container, add the rolled oats followed by the vanilla almond milk. Stir well to ensure the oats are fully submerged in the liquid.
  • Add the almond butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a dash of sea salt. Mix everything together until well combined.
  • If using, stir in sliced almonds or cherries for crunch or sweetness.
  • Seal your jar or container tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours so the oats soften and absorb the liquid.
  • In the morning, give your oats a good stir, add any additional toppings if desired, and enjoy your nutritious breakfast!

Equipment

  • Glass jar or container
  • Spoon
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Notes

  • Store overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for easy meal prep.
  • Customize your oats with different fruits, nut butters, or sweeteners to suit your taste.
  • For a low-carb alternative, substitute oats with chia seeds and use unsweetened coconut milk.
