Spiced Nut and Date Overnight Oats (Vegan)
Grab-and-go breakfasts are a lifesaver, and these Spiced Nut and Date Overnight Oats make my mornings simple. They check all of the boxes like wholesome, protein-packed, and easy to prepare, which is why they have become one of my favorite plant-based breakfasts.
Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 545kcal
Equipment
- 2 jars/mason jars with lids
- 1 medium glass bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-Fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons runny, creamy almond butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- pinch of salt
- 1½ cups almond milk
- 4 soft Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
- 3 tablespoons almonds, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium glass bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the chopped almonds and dates. This includes oats, almond butter, maple syrup, ground flaxseed, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, salt, and almond milk.
- Fold in the chopped almonds and dates.
- Transfer the mixture evenly between two mason jars and secure with lids. Ensure the dry-to-liquid ratio is relatively even.
- Place the jars in the refrigerator to chill overnight, or for at least 10 hours to set. In the morning, give everything a good stir and add your favorite toppings such as hemp seeds, chia seeds, or a spoonful of coconut yogurt.
Notes
Storage:
Place the mason jars with lids in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Tips + Modifications:
You can divide the mixture into three smaller mason jars if you prefer lighter portion sizes or want a grab-and-go snack instead of a full breakfast.
Feel free to double the recipe to prep four jars of overnight oats at once, making it a simple meal prep option for busy mornings.
I recommend adding toppings such as coconut yogurt, hemp seeds, or chia seeds right before serving.
You can swap out ground flaxseed for chia seeds if that is what you have on hand.
For a protein boost, mix in 2 tablespoons of your favorite vegan vanilla protein powder.
