Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until thoroughly blended and smooth.
- Slice the banana into thin rounds, reserving a few slices for topping if desired.
- Gently fold half of the sliced banana into the oat mixture, distributing the fruit evenly throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into two separate mason jars or airtight containers with secure lids.
- Cover the containers and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6-8 hours to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften completely.
- Before serving, give the oats a gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients and ensure a creamy consistency.
- Top each serving with the remaining banana slices, and optionally add extra drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon if desired.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator and enjoy your creamy, nutritious overnight oats.
Tips
- Customize Your Oats: Feel free to add your favorite toppings such as nuts, seeds, or berries for an extra burst of flavor and nutrition.
- Make It Vegan: This recipe is naturally vegan, but double-check your almond butter and maple syrup to ensure they are 100% plant-based.
- Batch Prep: Make a larger batch and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. This way, you’ll have breakfast ready for several mornings!
- Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter taste, add more maple syrup or a touch of agave nectar to suit your palate.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a delightful twist on the classic recipe.
- Use Different Milk: While almond milk is a fantastic choice, feel free to substitute with your favorite plant-based milk, like oat or coconut milk, for a different flavor profile.
- Stir Before Serving: Always give your oats a good stir before serving to mix the ingredients well and achieve that creamy texture.
