Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons maple almond butter
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based, unsweetened)
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts, toasted coconut flakes, extra maple almond butter

Instructions

  1. Combine the oats and chia seeds in a mason jar or airtight container.
  2. Add the maple almond butter and stir it in a bit before adding the milk.
  3. Pour in the milk of choice, then add maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or small whisk until ingredients are evenly distributed.
  5. Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats and add a splash of milk if the mixture is too thick.
  7. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; steel-cut oats do not soften well overnight and instant oats can become mushy. Stir almond butter with a little warm milk first for smoother mixing. Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add fiber but are optional. Adjust sweetness by reducing maple syrup and adding fresh fruit if desired. Store in fridge up to 4 days; stir in milk before serving if thickened. Freezing is possible but may affect texture.
