Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 8 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl or measuring jug, mix the almond milk, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until the almond butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir everything together until the oats are fully coated and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Divide the mixture evenly between two airtight containers or jars. Ensure that each container has a tight-fitting lid to prevent any spills.
- Seal the containers and place them in the refrigerator. Allow the oatmeal to soak overnight, or for at least 8 hours, to ensure the oats absorb the liquid and soften.
- In the morning, give the oatmeal a good stir to combine any separated ingredients. You can add a splash of almond milk if the mixture is too thick for your liking.
- Serve the Chocolate Almond Butter Overnight Oatmeal chilled or at room temperature. Feel free to top with additional almond butter, sliced bananas, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for extra flavor and presentation.
Tips
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness of your oatmeal by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to suit your taste. If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, consider adding an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder.
- Experiment with Toppings: While this recipe is delicious on its own, don’t hesitate to add your favorite toppings! Sliced bananas, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of nuts can elevate your oatmeal to the next level.
- Use Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality almond butter and cocoa powder. This will make a noticeable difference in the overall taste of your dish.
- Make Ahead in Batches: This recipe yields two servings, but you can easily double or triple the ingredients to meal prep for the week. Just remember to store them in airtight containers.
- Adjust the Consistency: If you find the oatmeal too thick in the morning, simply stir in a splash of almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Add a Protein Boost: For an extra protein punch, mix in a scoop of your favorite protein powder when combining the wet ingredients. This is especially great for post-workout breakfasts!
- Chill Out: Letting the oatmeal sit overnight is key to achieving the perfect texture. Make sure to give it enough time to soak up all the flavors and moisture.Enjoy your delightful Chocolate Almond Butter Overnight Oatmeal and start your day on a delicious note!
