Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons all-natural almond butter or cashew butter (optional, adds more almond flavor)
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (use vegan if preferred)
Directions:
1. Combine Ingredients:
In a sealable container (like a mason jar or meal prep container), combine all the ingredients: rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract, almond or cashew butter (if using), a pinch of salt, and sprinkles.
Make sure to mix everything thoroughly so the chia seeds and oats are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
2. Chill:
Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to soften, the chia seeds to expand, and the flavors to meld together.
3. Serve:
When you’re ready to enjoy your Birthday Cake Overnight Oats, give them a good stir. Divide the oats into bowls or jars, and top with your favorite toppings. Extra sprinkles, fresh fruit, or an extra drizzle of almond butter all make great additions!
