Preparation Steps
- In a mason jar or container, add the old-fashioned rolled oats, chia seeds, and almond butter. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed and prevent clumping.
- Pour your choice of milk over the oat mixture. Stir thoroughly until the oats are soaked, and you no longer see any dry pockets or clumps of almond butter.
- Gently place fresh or slightly thawed frozen berries on top of the mixture. Do not stir them in yet.
- Cover the jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours.
- The next morning, stir the oats to mix in the berries. Taste and add maple syrup or honey for sweetness if desired.
- You can enjoy your creamy oats directly from the jar or transfer them to a bowl.
