Description
A simple and nutritious vegan overnight oats recipe packed with wholesome ingredients to support a healthy heart, glowing skin, and brain health. This make-ahead breakfast is gluten-free, easy to prepare, and perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1/3 cup oats (use gluten-free oats if following a gluten-free diet)
- 1/3 cup almond milk or water
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp honey, agave, or maple syrup
Toppings
- 1/2 cup berries (such as blueberries and raspberries)
- 2 Tbsp chopped almonds
- 1 Tbsp almond butter
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Before going to bed, combine the oats, chia seeds, almond milk or water, and your chosen sweetener (honey, agave, or maple syrup) in a small tupperware or jar. Stir thoroughly for about 1 minute to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Secure the lid on the container and place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 5 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften into a creamy texture.
- Add Toppings and Serve: In the morning, remove the soaked oats from the fridge and top with your preferred berries, chopped almonds, and almond butter. The nuts add crunch and extra heart-healthy fats while the berries provide antioxidants.
- Enjoy: Your vegan overnight oats are ready to eat—enjoy a delicious and nourishing breakfast to start your day right.
Notes
- You can substitute any plant-based milk of your choice, such as oat or soy milk, for almond milk.
- Use gluten-free oats if you have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount and type of sweetener used.
- Feel free to swap berries with other fruits like chopped apples or banana slices for variety.
- For extra protein, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder before refrigerating.
