A nourishing and delicious overnight oats recipe designed to support blood sugar management, featuring creamy almond butter and a vibrant berry sauce. Perfect for a quick, easy, and wholesome breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons natural almond butter (unsweetened)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen mixed berries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional, to taste)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl or mason jar, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir to distribute evenly.
  2. Pour in 1 cup unsweetened almond milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons natural almond butter on top. Swirl through the mixture or leave dollops on top to mix in later.
  4. Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
  5. While oats soak, prepare the berry sauce by cooking 1 cup mixed berries, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes until berries break down and sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Sweeten the berry sauce with stevia or monk fruit sweetener sparingly if desired.
  7. Remove the berry sauce from heat and let it cool completely before serving.
  8. Stir the oat mixture to distribute almond butter, spoon chilled berry sauce over the top, and serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen. Avoid quick oats for better texture. Use natural almond butter with no added sugar or salt. Cook berry sauce on moderate heat to preserve flavor. The recipe is flexible; 4 hours refrigeration is minimum but overnight is best. Adjust sweetness gradually.
