TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Almond Butter And Jam Overnight Oats:
- Use A Jar: Prepping in a mason jar makes it portable and spill-proof, great for on-the-go mornings.
- Smooth Almond Butter: For better mixing, choose creamy almond butter instead of crunchy varieties.
- Mix Evenly: Stir thoroughly before refrigerating to ensure all oats are coated and flavours blend.
- Add Crunch: Top with crushed almonds or granola in the morning for texture contrast.
- Batch Preparation: Prepare several servings in advance for multiple days to save time midweek.
VARIATIONS
- Swap The Nut Butter: Use peanut butter or cashew butter instead of almond butter for different nutty profiles.
- Add Seeds: Mix in 1 teaspoon of chia or flaxseeds for an extra fibre and omega-3 boost.
- Fruit Boost: Top with sliced banana, fresh berries or apple for added nutrients and natural sweetness.
- Vegan-Friendly: Use oat milk or almond milk and ensure the jam is free from animal-derived gelatine.
- Low Sugar: Choose unsweetened almond butter and a no-sugar-added fruit spread to lower total sugar.
- Higher Protein: Add 1 tablespoon of Greek yoghurt or a scoop of plant-based protein powder to increase protein content.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before eating if it has thickened too much.
- Freezing Not Recommended: Due to the milk and oat texture, freezing is not ideal as it alters consistency upon thawing.
- Batch Tips: If prepping multiple jars, keep the jam on top and stir only when ready to eat to maintain distinct flavour layers.
