Maple Almond Butter Overnight Oats

Lately, I’ve been making a ton of overnight because it’s been too cold to make smoothies. I find the warmth comforting on cold mornings and they are very tasty and easy! I’ve been playing with various ingredients, but this one is definitely a winner! They are filling, and I love the nutty banana maple flavor with a touch of cinnamon.

Chocolate Peanut Butter “Caramel” Overnight Oats (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

I have been playing around with overnight oats. I will say this, at first I wasn’t a huge fan. However, after achieving a good flavor with my Pumpkin Overnight Oats, I continued my search for good recipes. I love the easiness of just preparing something the night ahead and having it ready for the next day. I know I’ve mentioned many times that I am constantly scrambling to get out the door in the morning.

So one night I was messing with ingredients, and I had been grinding up dates with a little non-dairy milk in the Vitamix and putting them in my oats. Well, in the USA we have a sauce that’s called The Date Lady Syrup. It’s 100% ground dates. It has become my caramel sauce substitute, and we put it on apples, bananas, pancakes, and waffles.

So I was wondering, could I just put this syrup in my oats instead of puréeing dates in the Vitamix with the non-dairy milk? The answer is YES and it’s amazing. Especially the way I have it paired with chocolate, peanut butter and banana. YOU. MUST. TRY. THIS.

Tips: (1) If you do not have The Date Lady Syrup you can add 5 dates to the Vitamix with the non-dairy milk and purée before adding to the oats. (2) You can smash the banana before adding to the oats, or slice on top. (3) Works best in at least a 6 oz container. (4) I’ve made the oats with or without the chocolate chips. If you prefer them without chocolate then skip them.

  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (I prefer crunchy peanut butter)
  • 1 tablespoon vegan chocolate chips
  • 1 banana (see tips, can be smashed or sliced on top)


Directions

  1. Add gluten-free quick oats to a 6 oz jar.
  2. Add non-dairy milk, chia seeds, cinnamon, The Date Lady Syrup, peanut butter, and chocolate chips to the jar.
  3. Stir well, put the lid on, and shake.
  4. Put them in the refrigerator overnight.
  5. Heat them for 50 seconds in the microwave in the morning or serve cold. I prefer them warm.

  7. Sprinkle them with a bit of cinnamon and / or drizzle with more of The Date Lady Syrup

Overnight Pumpkin Oats

Since my daughter can’t have oats, I don’t eat them a lot. She’s very bitter about her oat sensitivity. She doesn’t care about not eating wheat, but oats are torturous for her. I generally avoid them so that she doesn’t get sad. However, lately, I really need easy and quick breakfasts, because getting two kids out the door alone in the morning while my husband travels weekly for work is hard. Overnight oats save me valuable morning time. I quickly heat them up before I  run out the door to various drop-offs and then I eat at my desk at work so that my daughter doesn’t see the oats and cry. I am secretly eating oats!

 

It’s almost fall, and I’m already dreaming of pumpkin. I made a pumpkin chili last night. So I used the leftover pumpkin from the can to make two days of pumpkin overnight oats. I am by no means an expert with these oats. This is only the thirst time that I’ve made them. I just enjoy this dish because it’s delicious and easy. So if you’re a hot-mess mom in the morning like I am, try them! They will save you time!

Pumpkin Overnight Oats with pure maple syrup and cinnamon. Add nuts, chocolate chips and/or pumpkin seeds if desired.

Tips: (1) Some people eat their overnight oats cold, but I prefer to heat them in the microwave for ~80 seconds until they are warm. (2) I’ve tried this without mixing 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips in with the oats, and I prefer more chocolate. More chocolate is always better. However, you can sprinkle any amount of desired chocolate chips, cacao nibs, nuts, or pumpkin seeds on top.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup oats (I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Quick Cooking Rolled Oats)
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin (from a can)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips (+ 1 teaspoon for garnishing the top)
  • Optional: 1/2 tablespoon pumpkin seeds and/or almond slices


Directions

  1. Combine pumpkin, cinnamon, maple syrup, and almond milk together in a measuring cup.
  2. In a microwaveable jar, mug or bowl, coat the oats with the pumpkin blend and add 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips (if desired).
  3. Cover and place oats in the refrigerator overnight.
  4. In the morning, warm the oats in the microwave for ~80 seconds depending on your bowl or container. Top with your favorite toppings. (I’ve been experimenting with sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, and dark chocolate chips.)
  5. Warm in the microwave if desired for ~80 seconds.
