Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup brewed black tea
  • 2 tbsp vegan yogurt
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground ginger
  • A pinch of salt

Toppings (Optional)

  • Banana slices
  • Chocolate chips
  • Almond butter
  • Vegan caramel

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Whisk together the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, brewed black tea, vegan yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, ground cardamom, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until well mixed.
  2. Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture to a jar or airtight container and seal with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  3. Serve: Before eating, stir the oats gently and top with your choice of banana slices, chocolate chips, almond butter, or vegan caramel for added flavor and texture.
  4. Storage: Store any leftover overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, ensuring freshness and convenience for subsequent meals.

Notes

  • Use brewed black tea cooled to room temperature to avoid cooking the oats prematurely.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup according to your preference.
  • For a creamier texture, use a thicker vegan yogurt such as coconut or soy-based varieties.
  • Add additional toppings like nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
  • This recipe is easily customizable for different dietary needs and flavors.
