Prep Time10 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
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!
