This Almond Joy Overnight Oats recipe is a delicious and nutritious breakfast that combines chocolate, coconut, and almonds for a delightful start to your day!
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (regular or gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 Tbsp sliced almonds
- 2 Tbsp shredded coconut
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
- 1 drop almond extract
- 1 dash sea salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and a dash of sea salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are well combined.
- Pour in your milk of choice, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and almond extract. Mix everything together until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Gently fold in the sliced almonds and shredded coconut, ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout the oat mixture.
- Scoop the mixture into a jar or container and seal it tightly. This will help keep your oats fresh and ready for the next morning.
- Place the jar in the refrigerator and let it chill overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the flavors and soften to the perfect texture.
- In the morning, give your Almond Joy Overnight Oats a good stir. You can top them with additional sliced almonds, coconut, or even a drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra indulgence!
