Ingredients 

  • 1 cup Milk, (any milk works, you can also use water)
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
  • 3 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats
  • 2 tbsp Almond Butter , (more for drizzling on top)
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1-2 Bananas, (for topping)
  • Sliced Almonds, (for topping)

Instructions 

  • First step, combine milk, yogurt, chia seeds, and maple syrup in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together.
  • Add in oats, almond butter, and cinnamon and mix together. Pro tip: if almond butter is hard, microwave the almond butter for 10-20 seconds, until it softens, prior to adding to the oats.
  • Add to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for at least 5-8 hours (overnight). You can also add them to mason jars at this stage and allow them to set in the jars for an easy grab and go breakfast the next day.
  • When you’re ready to eat, add to a mason jar (or any small jar or bowl) and add a drizzle of almond butter on top. Top with bananas and sliced almonds.

Notes

Tips
  • Consistency Matters: Adjust the liquid to oats ratio based on your preferred consistency. For thicker oats, use less liquid; for a creamier texture, add more.
  • Mix well! Ensure the almond butter is well mixed with the oats and liquid to avoid clumps.
  • Use Rolled Oats: Rolled oats work best for overnight oats as they absorb the liquid well and soften nicely. Steel-cut oats are too tough and won't soften as much overnight.
  • Prep in Advance: Make a batch of overnight oats for several days by multiplying the recipe. They can last in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
  • Temperature Preference: If you prefer warm oats, you can heat them in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds before adding your toppings.
Variations 
Strawberry Banana: add fresh strawberries and ripe bananas on top before eating. 
Add hemp seeds: this is a great way to add more healthy fatty acids to your breakfast! 
Use peanut butter or cashew butter: all of these are great choices! 
Creative Toppings: Fresh or dried fruit, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, and extra almond butter make great toppings. Experiment with different combinations to keep it interesting.
