WHAT IS OVERNIGHT OATMEAL?

HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY ALMOND JOY OVERNIGHT OATS:

1. Start by combining rolled or old fashioned oats with your favorite milk and / or coconut or Greek yogurt in a 8 oz. mason jar, resealable container or a bowl. These 7 oz jars are the ones you actually see in the photos and are currently my favorite ones.
2. Add chia seeds, maple syrup, cocoa (or cacao) powder, coconut and sliced almonds. Overnight oats are also super versatile so feel free to add any other spices you like.
3. Seal or cover with a lid and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4. Top with more coconut flakes, slivered almonds and chocolate chips, if desired.

DO YOU EAT OVERNIGHT OATMEAL HOT OR COLD?

You can enjoy these almond joy overnight oats both ways. Enjoy them straight from the fridge with more toppings or heat them up in the microwave in a heat-safe bowl or container. Or you can even heat them up in a pot over the stove.

ARE OVERNIGHT OATS VEGAN?

Since overnight oats are easy to customize with whatever milk or sweetener you like, they work great if you are vegan. You can use almond milk, coconut milk or cashew milk and maple syrup, coconut nectar, coconut sugar, or a low carb sweetener.
