Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 4 Tbsp almond butter (smooth or chunky)
- 1 banana (sliced)
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 cup oat milk (soy or nut-based milk can be used)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey
Toppings
- ¼ cup roasted and salted almonds (coarsely chopped)
- Additional sliced banana (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Fill the Jars: Divide the almond butter evenly into two 8-ounce glass Mason jars. Add the sliced banana to each jar. Then add half of the oats, milk, and sweetener (maple syrup or honey) to each. Stir the mixture well in each jar until the oats are fully combined with the liquids and almond butter.
- Refrigerate: Place the jars in the refrigerator and let them soak for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors to meld together, creating a creamy texture.
- Serve: Before eating, top each jar with the coarsely chopped roasted and salted almonds. You may also add additional sliced banana for extra freshness and flavor. Enjoy cold straight from the fridge for a quick and healthy breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter with peanut or cashew butter if preferred.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey to taste.
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat oat milk or nut-based milk alternatives.
- Ensure oats are gluten-free if you need to avoid gluten.
- Prepare several jars in advance for grab-and-go breakfasts during the week.
