Easy, Healthy No-Cook Overnight Oats

Ingredients

1banana, sliced

1 tablespoon unsweetened almond butter, or more to taste

1 ½ teaspoons chia seeds

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 teaspoon pure maple syrup

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Place 3 to 4 slices of banana in the bottom of a jar. Layer 1 1/2 teaspoon of almond butter, 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds, and 1/2 cup oats on top. Repeat layering remaining almond butter, chia seeds, and oats, leaving a 1-inch gap at the top.

Mix almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Pour over oats, leaving a 1/2-inch gap at the top to allow oats to expands as they soak. Push a knife or fork vertically through the jar to make sure milk mixture soaks all the way through.

Step 3

Cover jar tightly and refrigerate until oats are moist, 4 hours to overnight.

Cook's Note:

Substitute any unsweetened nut milk for the almond milk if desired.
