What ingredients do I need to make overnight oats with almond milk?
- oats
I used old fashioned or rolled oats in this recipe and think those are the best type to use, personally.
On the oat spectrum so to speak, quick oats or 1-minute oats are too fine and will be too soggy.
Steel cut oats are too thick and won’t soften enough to have them the next morning, but if you leave them in the fridge for two days, then you’ll be good. - Almond milk
Feel free to make this recipe with regular milk, soy milk, or another type of milk. - Almond butter
you can substitute it with peanut butter - maple syrup or honey for a bit of sweetness
- chia or flax seeds
both add additional nutrients and fiber, so either are a great addition to a healthy breakfast - Banana
you can’t make banana overnight oats without it!
