Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds
  • 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Add-Ins

  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl or container, stir together the rolled oats, chia seeds, chopped almonds, shredded coconut, and salt to evenly distribute all the dry components.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk, almond butter, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and the almond butter is evenly incorporated.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the oat mixture to add bursts of chocolate flavor and texture.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and thicken to a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
  5. Serve: When ready to eat, uncover and stir the oats again to combine. Add any additional toppings such as fresh fruits or yogurt if desired, then enjoy cold or warm it briefly in the microwave if preferred.

Notes

  • Refrigerate the prepared overnight oats in an airtight container for up to 3 days for convenient make-ahead breakfasts.
  • Mixing the ingredients in a large bowl or container is easiest, but you can also assemble individual portions directly in jars like mason jars.
  • Adjust liquid amounts to your preferred consistency: less liquid for thicker oats, more for thinner.
  • Do not use steel-cut oats—rolled oats provide the best texture for soaking overnight.
  • Optional enhancements include adding protein powder, using yogurt for creaminess, or incorporating cacao powder for chocolate flavor.
  • Overnight oats are typically eaten cold but can be warmed if desired, adjusting liquids to maintain creaminess.
  • You can freeze leftover oats for up to 2 months, though texture may be slightly affected after thawing.
