Berry Overnight Oats Almond Butter Swirl (Print Version)

Creamy oats, fresh berries, and almond butter swirl come together overnight for a nourishing grab-and-go morning meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Oats & Liquid

01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
04 - 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
05 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Fruit

06 - 1 cup mixed fresh berries

→ Swirl

07 - 2 tablespoons natural almond butter

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl or large jar, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, chia seeds, pure maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - Fold in half of the mixed fresh berries into the oat mixture using a gentle folding motion to preserve berry shape.
03 - Spoon the mixture evenly into two mason jars or airtight containers, dividing the portions equally.
04 - Swirl 1 tablespoon of natural almond butter into each jar using a spoon or knife, creating a decorative swirl pattern.
05 - Top each jar with the remaining fresh berries.
06 - Seal the containers and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours, allowing the oats to fully absorb the liquid.
07 - In the morning, stir gently to combine ingredients. Serve chilled. Optionally, top with additional almond butter or a drizzle of honey before consuming.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • No cooking required, which means your kitchen stays calm and your mornings stay sane.
  • The almond butter swirl transforms something healthy into something that actually feels indulgent.
  • It's proof that meal prep doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming to work.
02 -
  • The swirl of almond butter will stay somewhat separate if you add it right before chilling, which is actually the magic—it becomes a pocket of richness you discover while eating.
  • If you use too much liquid, you'll end up with soup instead of pudding, so resist the urge to add extra almond milk if your oats seem dry at first.
03 -
  • Prepare two or three jars at once on Sunday so you have grab-and-go breakfasts ready all week—they stay fresh in the fridge for up to five days.
  • If your almond butter is thick, warm it slightly under hot water so it swirls smoothly instead of clumping.
