Almond Milk Overnight Oats with Berries
I love the variety of overnight oats combinations you can make so you never get bored of them! (Here are 6 of my favorite overnight oats flavor combinations for inspiration).
It’s especially easy to mix and match ingredients – like using almond milk instead of dairy milk. And it tastes just as good.
If you use gluten-free certified oats, then the overnight oats will be gluten-free, too!
Let’s talk about how to make this tasty, healthy breakfast treat.
1. Start with your basic overnight oats ingredients: almond milk, oats, and ground flax.
Of course, you can use dairy milk if you prefer, or any other kind of milk – you do you!
Combine ingredients in a mason jar and shake (or stir) until well-mixed. This is your starter for any overnight oats recipe!
You can also add chia seeds if desired. This gives your oats more of a pudding consistency, and adds a nutritional boost.
2. Flavor your overnight oats base with vanilla extract and honey.
Vanilla extract and honey add a natural sweetness to your oats. You can also use cocoa powder, maple syrup, cinnamon, and/or nut butter if you like!
3. Add your toppings: berries and sliced almonds.
Throw in some berries (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, whatever you like!) and sliced almonds. The berries can either be fresh or frozen.
You can mix & match any fruits or nuts you have on hand, though – it doesn’t have to be just berries + almonds!

4. Refrigerate your oats, then enjoy!
Lastly, refrigerate your oats for at least 3-4 hours – or you can just leave them in the fridge overnight! This lets the oats soak in the almond milk so they become soft.
After that, they’re ready to enjoy!
