- - Spoon

Ingredients
For the Base
- 1 cup rolled oats The heart of the recipe; opting for old-fashioned oats ensures a creamy texture.
- 1 tbsp chia seeds Don’t skip these! They thicken the oats and offer a boost of omega-3s.
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk Hydrates oats beautifully; feel free to swap with other non-dairy milk for variety.
For the Flavor
- 4 tsp almond butter Adds rich creaminess and essential healthy fats; any nut butter works in a pinch.
- 2 tbsp maple syrup A natural, unrefined sweetener that elevates flavor; honey or agave syrup are great alternatives.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract A must for flavor enhancement; always go for pure vanilla for the best results.
For Topping
- 1/2 cup raspberries These fresh berries add a vibrant burst of taste; keep them separate until serving.
Instructions
Preparation
- Divide the rolled oats and chia seeds evenly between two jars.
- Pour the almond milk over the oats, then add the almond butter and maple syrup.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Add the vanilla extract, mix well, then shake the jars gently to incorporate everything completely.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, for optimal texture.
- Stir the oats in the morning; if they’re too thick, just add a splash of almond milk.
- Top with fresh raspberries and an extra drizzle of almond butter if desired.
Notes
