Wholesome oats soaked overnight topped with mixed berries and almond butter for a creamy breakfast delight.

# What You'll Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 2 teaspoons chia seeds
04 - 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup or honey
05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of salt

→ Toppings

07 - 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
08 - 2 tablespoons almond butter
09 - 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (optional)

# Step-by-step Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
02 - Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
03 - In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If too thick, add a splash more milk to reach desired consistency.
04 - Divide oats between two bowls or jars. Top each with mixed berries, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, and sliced almonds if using.
05 - Serve immediately, or cover and keep chilled until ready to eat.
