3tablespoonsreal maple syrup (not maple flavored corn syrup)
1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 ½ cups vanilla almond milk (or your favorite milk with drop of vanilla added)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2teaspoons black chia seeds
Toppings
Banana slices
Shredded coconut
A pinch of chia seeds
reserved almond butter/syrup
Instructions
In a small bowl use a fork to blend almond butter and maple syrup until smooth
In another bowl mix oats with milk, chia, cinnamon and 3/4 of the maple/almond butter mixture, reserving the rest for topping in the morning
Mix well, separate evenly into two smaller bowls (or mason jars with lids), cover and refrigerate overnight allowing oats to soak up liquid
In the morning remove from the fridge, top with banana slices, coconut, reserved maple/almond butter and more chia if desired. (Note: overnight oats are usually served cold, but if you prefer them warm, heat for 30-60 seconds in the microwave, then add toppings)
