Creamy oats soaked overnight with berries and almond butter for easy mornings.

# Ingredient List:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
04 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Berries

06 - 1 cup mixed fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)

→ Almond Butter Layer

07 - 3 tablespoons almond butter
08 - 2 tablespoons almond milk (to loosen if needed)

→ Toppings

09 - 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
10 - Additional berries
11 - Honey or maple syrup, to taste

# How to Make:

01 - In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
02 - Gently fold the mixed berries into the oat mixture, reserving a small portion for garnish if desired.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk almond butter with 2 tablespoons almond milk until smooth and pourable. Add additional milk by teaspoon if needed to achieve desired consistency.
04 - Distribute half the oat mixture evenly between two jars or bowls. Drizzle with prepared almond butter, then top with remaining oat mixture.
05 - Cover containers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to fully absorb liquid and soften.
06 - In the morning, stir to combine or maintain layered presentation. Top with reserved berries, sliced almonds, and additional almond butter or sweetener if desired. Serve chilled.
