04 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
02 - Gently fold mixed berries into the oat mixture, reserving a small portion for garnish if desired.
03 - In a small separate bowl, whisk almond butter with additional almond milk until smooth and pourable consistency is achieved.
04 - Distribute half the oat mixture evenly between two jars or bowls. Drizzle with prepared almond butter, then top with remaining oats.
05 - Cover containers securely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing oats and chia seeds to fully absorb liquid and soften.
06 - In the morning, stir to combine or maintain layered presentation. Top with reserved berries, sliced almonds, and additional almond butter or sweetener as desired. Serve chilled.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Five minutes the night before saves you twenty minutes of morning panic plus it feels like eating dessert for breakfast without the sugar crash
  • The chia seeds create this incredible pudding like texture that makes you feel fancy even when you're eating it in your car
02 -
  • The texture changes completely based on your milk to oats ratio so if you like it thinner add more liquid and if you want it spoonable like pudding use less
  • Frozen berries release more liquid than fresh so your oats might turn purple and that's completely normal and actually kind of beautiful
03 -
  • Buy chia seeds in bulk from the baking aisle not the fancy health food section same product half the price
  • If your almond butter is too solid pop it in the microwave for fifteen seconds before mixing it makes it so much easier to work with
