Oatmeal-raisin cookie dough overnight oats recipe

Recipe inspired by Maria Makes Muffins

Serves 1

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1 tablespoon raw buckwheat groats
• 1 heaping tablespoon raisins
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon vanilla powder or a few drops vanilla extract
• A very small pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 2 teaspoons maple syrup (more or less, to taste)

Directions:

1. The night before you plan to enjoy these overnight oats for breakfast, add all the dry ingredients to a medium-size resealable container. Stir to combine.
2. Add in the almond milk and maple syrup, and thoroughly combine all the ingredients. Flatten down the oat mixture so it is well covered by the liquid.
3. Place in the fridge overnight.
4. In the morning, grab a spoon, and enjoy your oats first thing, or take them with you on the go.

Note: Forgot to prepare your overnight oats the night before? Don’t fret! Simply toss everything into a resealable container as soon as you wake up, and wait an hour or two before digging in!
