# What You’ll Need:

03 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds

05 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You literally just stir and refrigerate—no cooking means zero stress on busy mornings.
  • The almond butter swirl tastes like dessert for breakfast, but your body knows it's genuinely good for you.
  • Fresh berries stay bright and juicy because they're never cooked, keeping all that natural sweetness intact.
  • One jar keeps you full for hours thanks to the chia seeds and protein, so you'll actually skip the mid-morning snack run.
02 -
  • Don't skip the chia seeds—they're what makes this creamy without yogurt or dairy, and they thicken everything overnight in a way that feels almost magical.
  • Stir the almond butter jar well before using it because the oil separates, and you want that rich texture distributed evenly rather than ending up with a thick layer at the bottom of the jar.
03 -
  • Slightly warm your almond butter jar under warm water for thirty seconds before spooning it into your oats—it swirls so much more beautifully when it's soft and pliable.
  • Add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds if you like yours thicker, or a splash of almond milk in the morning if you prefer it looser—overnight oats are endlessly adjustable once you understand the base formula.
