Ingredients & Substitutions

• Seeds. Hemp seeds, chia seeds, and flaxseeds will be the base of your overnight no oats. If you don’t have one of those feel free to use a little extra of the other seeds.
• Dairy free milk. The dairy free milk is what make these oats so creamy. I use 2 ingredient almond milk but any dairy free milk works.
• Nut butter. This adds to the flavor and helps thicken the “oats”. I use almond butter but you. can use peanut butter, cashew butter, walnut butter, pecan butter, or sunflower seed butter to keep it nut free.
• Collagen or Protein. I always add a scoop of collagen peptides or vanilla protein powder to up the protein content and make it more filling. Feel free to omit this.

Step 2

Add nut butter and collagen. Once, seeds are combined. Add in nut butter and collagen. You can also add in a dash of ceylon cinnamon.

Step 3

Pour in milk. Finally, add in milk and shake to combine. Stir with a spoon if needed. Place in the fridge overnight (or for at least 3 hours).

Step 4

Enjoy! Remove from fridge and enjoy these paleo overnight oats! I love to top mine with more fresh nut butter, another dash of cinnamon and fresh berries.

Expert Tips

• For the best paleo overnight oats leave them in the fridge overnight. This will allow the seeds to soak up the milk and the flavors to meld together.
• For a little bit sweeter oats. Add in tbsp of maple syrup or honey.
• Have fun with the toppings. I love to add lots of toppings because let’s be real, the toppings are the best part. My favorite are nut butter and fresh fruit.
• Use milk that only have 1 or 2 ingredients. The best milk you can choose is one that the only ingredient is whatever nut and filtered water. Look out for ones with gums and other additives.
• Choose a runny nut butter. The runnier nut butters seamlessly combine with the overnight oats, whereas a thick one sometimes doesn’t get fully mixed in. Choose a nut butter with only 1-2 ingredients.
• This recipe serves two. You can use one large container or two small ones. If using two, divide the ingredients evenly into each jar.
