Recipe Steps For Swiss Overnight Oats

Step 1

Combine Ingredients: In a 12oz jar, add rolled oats, chia seeds, flax seeds, sea salt, pumpkin seeds, craisins, almonds, cinnamon, real vanilla, diced apple, plain Greek yogurt & maple syrup.

Step 2

Pour Almond Milk: Add the almond milk to the mixture and stir all of the ingredients thoroughly, making sure no dry pockets remain. The chia seeds should be evenly dispersed.

Step 3

Cover and Refrigerate: Cover the jar and refrigerate the mixture overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, resulting in a deliciously thick and creamy texture. The seeds and nuts will also start to absorb the milk overnight.

Step 4

Morning Stir: When morning arrives, check to see if you like the consistency and add more almond milk if desired.

Step 5

Top and Enjoy: Add the toppings and enjoy!

This overnight oats recipe is so delicious and filling. It’s a perfect grab and go meal for mornings or for a late lunch.
