Ingredients
  

Oats Base
  • 2 cups Quick or Rolled Oats Substitutions: Steel-cut oats require longer soaking time, which may alter texture.
  • 2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk Substitutions: Any plant-based milk can be used based on your preference.
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt Substitutions: Dairy-free yogurt works great for a vegan version.
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder Substitutions: Any flavored protein powder can be substituted; adjust sweetness to taste.
Flavor Profile
  • 1 tablespoon Almond Butter Substitutions: Feel free to try peanut butter or seed butter for a different taste sensation.
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract Substitutions: Vanilla extract can serve as a lovely alternative if almond extract isn’t on hand.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract It can be omitted, but its essence enhances the overall taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup Substitutions: Agave nectar or stevia can be used for low-calorie alternatives.
  • 1 pinch Salt No substitutions needed, as a little salt goes a long way.
Toppings
  • 1/4 cup Sliced Almonds Substitutions: Any nut or seed can add crunch as a topping.
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar You can omit this for a healthier approach to your oats.

Equipment

  • jar or airtight container

Method
 

Combine the Base Ingredients
  1. In a jar or airtight container, add the quick or rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, and Greek yogurt. Next, incorporate the vanilla protein powder and almond butter for a rich flavor, followed by the almond extract and vanilla extract. If you desire a touch of sweetness, drizzle in honey or maple syrup along with a pinch of salt. Stir until fully combined and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Fold in the Almonds
  1. Once your mixture is well-combined and creamy, gently fold in the sliced almonds with a spatula. This step ensures that the almonds maintain their crunch and texture throughout the soaking process.
Chill Overnight
  1. Cover the jar tightly with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. In the morning, take your Almond Croissant Overnight Oats out of the fridge and give them a good stir. If the mixture appears too thick, add a splash of almond milk to achieve your desired consistency. Transfer to a bowl or enjoy directly from the jar, topping it off with additional sliced almonds and a light dusting of powdered sugar.
