Overnight Oats Berries Almond Butter (Printable)

A creamy oats blend infused with berries and almond butter, ready after a restful overnight chill.

# What You'll Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 2 teaspoons chia seeds
04 - 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup or honey
05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of salt

→ Toppings

07 - 1 cup mixed fresh berries
08 - 2 tablespoons almond butter
09 - 2 tablespoons sliced almonds

# How to Cook:

01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
02 - Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
03 - In the morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add additional milk gradually to reach desired consistency.
04 - Divide oats between two bowls or jars. Top each portion with mixed berries, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, and sliced almonds.
05 - Serve immediately, or cover and keep chilled until ready to consume.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero morning stress—your breakfast is literally waiting in the fridge, ready to eat straight from the jar.
  • The almond butter swirl tastes indulgent but keeps you full until lunch without weighing you down.
  • You can prep a whole week's worth on Sunday and have one less decision to make before coffee.
02 -
  • Don't skimp on the liquid—I learned this the hard way when my first batch turned into cement. The oats need enough milk to fully soften, or you'll be chewing instead of enjoying.
  • Stir it well the next morning before serving, because the oats settle and the mixture can separate slightly, which is totally normal and fixable with a few good stirs.
03 -
  • Use a jar with a tight-fitting lid so you can shake everything together in the morning instead of stirring with a spoon—it's faster and somehow more fun.
  • Toast your sliced almonds in a dry pan for 2 minutes before adding them to wake up their flavor and make them extra crispy.
