Step 1
Grab a small jar with a tight lid, like a mason jar, and add the oats, coconut sugar, and almond butter. Give it a good stir to combine everything, then screw the lid on and pop it in the fridge. Let it sit there for at least 8 hours, or overnight works great.
Step 2
When you're ready to eat, pour some hot water into the jar and put the lid back on. Let it sit for a few minutes—around 3 to 5—so the oats can soak up the water and soften. Give it a good stir, and it’s ready to enjoy!
Perfect Pairings
Top your jar with fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for added crunch and nutrition. A dollop of yogurt or a splash of milk can make it creamier. Try drizzling nut butter or maple syrup for extra flavor.
Leftover Tips
Keep the jar tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. Prepared oats will stay good for up to 3 days. Avoid adding fresh toppings until just before eating to keep them fresh and crisp.
