Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp. almond butter (smooth or chunky)
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 cup oat milk (or soy or other nut-based milk)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey
- ¼ cup roasted and salted almonds, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Fill the Jars: Divide the almond butter evenly between two 8-ounce glass Mason jars. Add the sliced banana to each jar. Then, add half of the rolled oats, oat milk, and sweetener (maple syrup or honey) into each container. Stir each jar well to combine the oats with the liquid and almond butter, ensuring an even mixture.
- Chill Overnight: Place the jars in the refrigerator and let the oats soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to soften and absorb the flavors, resulting in a creamy, ready-to-eat breakfast.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, top each jar with the coarsely chopped roasted and salted almonds and, if desired, additional sliced banana to add crunch and extra flavor.
Notes
- Use gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Substitute almond butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey and a plant-based milk.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator up to 2 days for best freshness.
