Overnight Oats: Nut Butter & Chocolate
Who needs a quick, easy, healthy and yummy breakfast idea? Pretty much EVERYONE! A great way to start your day is with oats. They're full of fiber which will leave you feeling full without a huge calorie load. They're also full of essential vitamins and minerals and have been shown to decrease risk of heart disease, diabetes and even cancer. Count me in.
My favorite ways to eat oats in the morning are in waffles, baked oatmeal muffins or in overnight oats.
It takes less than five minutes to assemble these babies, they're so easy my kids make them! Feel free to use whichever nut butter you like best, I switch between pb and almond but sometimes I'll go for cashew or walnut. My favorite non dairy milk is homemade cashew, but almond would be a great addition.
You'll need:
1/2 c nut butter (no oil)
1/2 c cashew milk
1/4 maple syrup
1 t vanilla
Pinch of sea salt
1 T chia seeds
2.5 c oats
Optional add-ins: dark chocolate chips, more seeds or chopped nuts
Mix all ingredients except chia seeds and oats until smooth, then use a spatula to combine oats and seeds until mixed. If the mixture is thick, add in more non-dairy milk. Makes 4 half pints.
