Equipment

  • Medium-sized jar, bowl, or airtight container

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized jar, bowl, or airtight container, add the rolled oats, unsweetened shredded coconut, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Give these dry ingredients a quick stir to ensure they are evenly distributed.

  2. Pour in the unsweetened plant-based milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

  3. Stir everything together very well, making sure there are no pockets of dry oats or chia seeds at the bottom of the container. It’s important to mix thoroughly at this stage to prevent clumping and ensure the oats and chia seeds can properly absorb the liquid.
  4. Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken, creating that signature overnight oats texture.
  5. In the morning, remove the overnight oats from the refrigerator. Give them a good stir. If the oats are too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more plant-based milk until you reach your desired consistency.

  6. Spoon the chilled overnight oats into a serving bowl or enjoy them directly from the jar. Now, it’s time for the Almond Joy magic! Sprinkle with chopped raw almonds, a generous amount of vegan chocolate chips, and extra shredded coconut. For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle with melted vegan dark chocolate.
