If you haven’t caught on to the “overnight oats” fad yet, you should definitely jump on board. They make the best breakfast or snack and better yet they are super filling & nutritious. I keep mixing up different flavors and these almond butter & banana overnight oats are my current favorite.
Especially on chilly days, I find these oats extra comforting. And I go running every morning, so I always keep some in my fridge for an energy boost post-workout.
I’m going on a camping trip with my girlfriends this weekend, in the spirit of getting back to my southern roots. We are heading out to Malibu to a beautiful camp site in a canyon near the ocean. I can’t wait!
So, in preparation, I made a couple of jars of these overnight oats to take with me. I’m the only vegan out of the group, so needless to say I most definitely need to pack lots of snacks.
I pack my oats full of superfoods: chia seeds, rolled oats, raw almond butter.
And then banana and fresh almond milk to give it that delicious creaminess. All you have to do is toss the ingredients in a jar, let it soak overnight, and then in the morning crack open that jar and devour.
You can enjoy these almond butter & banana overnight oats right out of the fridge or warm them up in the microwave. I suggest making a couple of jars at once, they’ll stay good in the fridge all week. That way you can just grab them and go whenever you need!
