Vanilla Almond Overnight Oats

An easy, healthy make-ahead breakfast. Simply take 5 minutes to assemble these vanilla almond overnight oats before bed and they will be waiting for you in the morning!

We love this easy, nourishing, make-ahead breakfast!

It only takes 5 minutes and 6 ingredients to assemble in the evening.

Then just cover and put in the fridge for a quick ready-to-eat breakfast in the morning.

It's also an easy recipe to double or triple for more people. (We often make a triple batch so all three of us can enjoy.)

Ingredients for Almond Overnight Oats

For this simple recipe you will combine in a glass container or mason jar:

• Old-fashioned rolled oats: I find old-fashioned oats work best for this recipe. (Be sure to use gluten-free oats if needed.)
• Almond milk: Or substitute your favorite dairy-free milk such as soy milk, cashew milk, oat milk, etc. I use plain and unsweetened.
• Chia seeds: These help to thicken the mixture and also provide omega-3 fatty acids.
• Vanilla extract
• Almond extract: This is very strong, so just a small amount is needed.
• Pure maple syrup: This is a wonderful natural sweetener with great taste. But simply use your own favorite sweetener if desired!

Serving

Either enjoy these oats as is, or garnish with desired toppings before serving. A few ideas include:

• Fresh blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc.
• Diced banana
• A dollop of peanut butter or other nut butter
• Homemade Granola for some crunch

Note: This recipe makes one serving, so simply double or triple the batch to serve more!

Storing

Store this in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. We find it is best enjoyed within 1-2 days.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if desired)
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 2 tsp. chia seeds
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp. almond extract
• 1-2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup

Instructions

• Combine all ingredients except oats in a small bowl or jar. Stir to combine.
• Add oats and gently stir. Lightly press down with a spoon to make sure they are all fully submerged in the liquid.
• Cover and place in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
• Enjoy as is or top with banana, berries, granola, nut butters, etc. before serving.

Notes

Plant milk: I use unsweetened plain almond milk for this recipe. Adjust the syrup as desired depending on how much sweetness you like (or if you’re using a sweetened milk). You may find you need a little less vanilla if you’re using a vanilla flavored milk.

Almond extract: It is very strong so be sure to only use the 1/8 tsp. otherwise it can overpower.
