A quick and easy healthy breakfast recipe featuring rolled oats soaked overnight with chia seeds, almond butter, and fresh berries for a creamy, nutritious start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (20g)
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (32g)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240ml) – unsweetened almond milk recommended
  • 1/2 cup fresh mixed berries (75g) – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a combo
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (15ml) – optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (2.5ml)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 cup rolled oats and 2 tablespoons chia seeds in a mixing bowl or directly in a jar; stir to distribute chia seeds evenly.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons almond butter over the dry mix without mixing it in.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of your preferred milk.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional), 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Stir everything well until almond butter breaks up and blends into the mixture.
  6. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats and top with 1/2 cup fresh berries. Optionally drizzle more almond butter or sweetener.

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, add a splash of milk and stir to loosen. Can soak for at least 2 hours if short on time. Use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free diet. For nut allergies, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter. Frozen berries can be used if fresh are out of season. Store leftovers up to 3 days refrigerated or freeze individual portions.
