We have been digging overnight oats at our house lately! It's an easy way for me to make my hubby breakfast he can take to the office, because lets be honest...I'm ALWAYS asleep when he walks out the door. We have made some we loved, others leave something to be desired. So the good ones are the ones you will see here. My other go-to one is the Blueberry Muffin Overnight Oats. In our trials of different oats, I have found I need texture. I can't just have oats with mashed up bananas. I need chunks of fruit, or nuts, or both. Hence this one made the cut! It was super yummy...in fact I got a text the morning after I made it from the mister saying "these oats are super good!" So there you go...husband approved ;) Enjoy!
Strawberry Almond Overnight Oats
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup vanilla almond milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon strawberry jam (plus more, if desired)
2 teaspoons honey, or more to taste
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 tablespoon sliced almonds
4 strawberries
In a jar or bowl, combine oats, almond milk, chia seeds, jam, and honey. Stir until well combined and all the oats are covered in liquid. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
For serving: warm oats in the microwave, if desired. Add almond butter and little more jam and stir just slightly so that you can see the swirls. Top with sliced almonds and strawberries.
