A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy almond butter and fresh or frozen berries for a nourishing and delicious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy almond butter
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk of choice (almond, dairy, or oat milk)
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (75g) fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, or mixed berries)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a jar or bowl, combine ½ cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir to distribute evenly.
  2. Pour in ¾ cup milk of choice, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend gently until smooth and creamy with no dry oats visible.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons creamy almond butter. Stir vigorously to break down clumps and mix fully until the batter looks rich and velvety.
  4. Drizzle 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if desired and stir gently to combine.
  5. Fold in ½ cup fresh or frozen berries. No need to thaw if frozen.
  6. Seal the jar or bowl tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to soak and thicken.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Add more berries or nuts if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Warm almond butter slightly before mixing if it is clumpy to ensure smooth blending. Adjust milk quantity in the morning for preferred texture. Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid quick oats. Can substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for dairy-free option. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days. Reheat gently if desired.
