Cardamom Vanilla Overnight Oats | Dairy-Free

Easy, healthy, and great for rushed mornings, overnight oats are already just about perfect. What’s not to love? We’ve put our spin on them and taken things over the top in the flavor department with our Cardamom Vanilla Overnight Oats. They’re sweetly spiced and perfectly creamy without being fussy.

What you need 

Uncooked rolled oats: These are probably what you think of when you picture oatmeal. Any brand or variety of old-fashioned oats will do, just make sure they’re not instant as this recipe won’t work with those. Make sure to purchase oats with certified gluten-free processing if you or a loved one are gluten sensitive.

Unsweetened non-dairy milk: You can use any kind of plant milk you like. Oat and soy milk work quite well.

Raw almonds: Raw just means unsalted and unroasted. Almond pieces are typically cheaper than whole or sliced, but you can purchase whichever you prefer. If you want your almonds a little firmer, wait to add them to your oats until you’re ready to eat.

100% pure maple syrup: This means the only ingredient should be maple syrup. Grades A and B indicate flavor and color, with grade A being lighter in color and more delicate in flavor, and grade B darker with a more robust taste. Choose whichever sounds best to you.

Prepare your Cardamom Vanilla Overnight Oats 

Whether you live alone or have to leave the house before everyone else, we’ve got your individual breakfast-on-the-run needs covered.
