Ingredients
  

Oats Base
  • 1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats Essential for the creamy texture; skip quick oats for the best results.
  • 1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt Boosts protein and adds creaminess; swap for dairy-free yogurt for a vegan alternative.
  • 1 cup Milk Any variety works, whether dairy, almond, or oat milk.
Sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons Mini Chocolate Chips Add a delicious chocolatey flavor; you can reduce the amount for fewer calories.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Coconut Flakes Provides delightful coconut taste and texture; unsweetened options help keep sugar levels down.
Crunch
  • 3 tablespoons Slivered Almonds Introduces a satisfying crunch and nutty flavor; feel free to substitute with sliced or chopped almonds.
Flavor
  • ½ teaspoon Almond Extract Gives the classic “Almond Joy” taste; can be replaced with vanilla or coconut extract for a twist.

Equipment

  • Mason jar or mixing bowl

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mason jar or a medium mixing bowl, add 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt, and 1 cup of your choice of milk. Pour in 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened coconut flakes, and 3 tablespoons of slivered almonds. Lastly, add ½ teaspoon of almond extract to enhance the flavor of your Almond Joy Overnight Oats.
  2. Using a spoon or a whisk, stir the mixture vigorously to ensure that all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Cover the mason jar or bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap, then place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. In the morning, check the consistency of your Almond Joy Overnight Oats; they should be creamy yet thick. You can enjoy them cold directly from the fridge or warm them up in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds if you prefer.
