Ingredients

For the Base

1/2 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats Avoid quick cook or steel cut oats as they won’t soak properly.
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt Substitute with full-fat Greek yogurt or opt for dairy-free yogurt for a vegan choice.
1/2 cup Milk (regular or nondairy) Almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk are great options; coconut cream can be substituted but raises the fat and calorie count.

For the Sweetness

1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips Opt for 80% dark chocolate for a healthier alternative; you might want to reduce the quantity for fewer calories.
2 tablespoons Unsweetened Coconut Flakes Sweetened coconut may be used, but it comes with added sugars.
1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract You can use vanilla or coconut extract as substitutes, though the flavor will vary slightly.

For Texture and Flavor

1-2 tablespoons Slivered Almonds Feel free to swap for sliced or chopped almonds, or omit for a smoother finish.

Equipment

Mason jar or overnight oat mug

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a mason jar or overnight oat mug, add 1/2 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/2 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt, and 1/2 cup of your choice of milk. Stir in 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened coconut flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed together until well-combined.
Seal the jar or mug with a tight lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight (12-24 hours), allowing oats to absorb moisture.
After marinating, your Almond Joy Overnight Oats are ready to enjoy! Serve cold or heat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Add finishing touches by sprinkling 1-2 tablespoons of slivered almonds on top for crunch and extra flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge. Stir well before serving.
