Cardamom Overnight Oats
Prepared the night before, these creamy, dreamy Cardamom Overnight Oats offer a delightful way to kickstart your morning.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk, or other plant-based milk of choice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon nut or seed butter (examples peanut butter, almond butter, tahini)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
Optional fruit topping
- ½ cup of fruit like sliced banana, berries, or any fruit of choice
Instructions
- In a jar or container with a lid, combine rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk alternative), ground cardamom, ground cinnamon, chia seeds, nut butter, maple syrup, and salt.
- Stir the ingredients until well combined, ensuring that the oats are fully submerged in the liquid.
- Seal the jar or container with a lid and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If desired, you can add more almond milk to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Serve the overnight oats cold straight from the fridge, or warm them up in the microwave or on the stovetop if you prefer them warm.
- Optional: Garnish with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries and/or sliced bananas.
Notes
Meal prep tips:
When prepping multiple jars of overnight oats, streamline the process by setting up an assembly line of jars and systematically adding the ingredients to each one. This ensures consistency and efficiency, allowing you to enjoy a week's worth of delicious breakfasts with minimal effort.
Furthermore, consider adding toppings such as fresh fruit just before serving. This not only preserves their freshness but also allows you to customize each serving according to your preferences.
