Ingredients & Substitutions

• Organic rolled oats. Make sure to look for rolled oats that are certified gluten free.
• Chia seeds & hemp seeds . These tiny superfoods add healthy fats, protein and nutrients to your oats. They also give the overnight oats a pudding-like texture after soaking in the milk.
• Almond butter. This adds a slightly nutty flavor and thickens the almond butter overnight oats. Look for an almond butter that is slightly runny. Ideally one with only 1-2 ingredients. Any nut butter works here.
• Milk. Use whatever milk you prefer here! Non dairy milks work as well as dairy milk.
• Collagen/protein powder. This helps add more protein to the oats and balance out the carbohydrates, keeping your blood sugar balanced. Use a vanilla protein for some added flavor! I prefer using plain collagen or an animal based protein powder for the best texture. If you are using vegan protein, add more liquid because it tends to soak up more water.
• Ceylon cinnamon. Adding a dash of ceylon cinnamon slightly sweetens things and adds health benefits such as blood sugar balance and help regulating hormone production.
• Toppings. Fresh berries, nut butter, nuts, seeds, chocolate chips. Feel free to use whatever toppings you desire.

How to Make Almond Butter Overnight Oats

Step 1

Mix together all ingredients. Add oats, chia seeds, hemp seeds, cinnamon and protein powder (if using) to a glass jar or container with a lid. Next add in nut butter and milk. Stir until fully combined, cover on and place in the fridge overnight (or for at least 3 hours).

Step 2

Enjoy! Once it has been in the fridge for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight), remove and serve with toppings of choice!

Expert Tips

• For the creamiest, thickest almond butter overnight oats, allow them to sit in the fridge overnight. If you don’t have the time you can eat them after 3 hours of refrigerating.
• For best results, use collagen or animal based protein powder. If using a vegan protein, make sure to add more liquid because the vegan protein soaks up more liquid.
• Have fun with the flavors! These almond butter overnight oats are the perfect base but the flavor possibilities are endless. Add in walnuts and chocolate chips, use a chocolate protein powder and swap the almond butter for peanut butter, add strawberries and use a strawberry milk (milk blended with fresh strawberries)
