Almond Croissant Overnight Oats

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp oats
• 3 tsp chia seeds
• 2 tbsp almond flour
• 2 tbsp yogurt (Fage UK recommended)
• 100 ml milk of choice (a long splash; use 100-200 ml depending on desired consistency)
• 1 tsp sweetener of choice (date or silan syrup recommended for a baked taste)
• salt (a pinch)
• vanilla extract (a splash)
• winter spices (optional; cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom)
• almond extract (optional; a drop)
• roasted sliced almonds (for topping)
• powdered sugar (optional for aesthetic)

Steps

1. 1

   In a jar or container, combine the oats, chia seeds, almond flour, yogurt, milk, sweetener, salt, and vanilla.

2. 2

   If using, add the optional winter spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom) or a drop of almond extract.

3. 3

   Mix everything together thoroughly.

4. 4

   Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4-6 hours).

5. 5

   In the morning, top with roasted sliced almonds for extra baked flavor and crunch.

6. 6

   Optionally dust with a little powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

The author suggests batch-making this by doubling or tripling the amounts. Date or silan syrup is specifically recommended to achieve a 'freshly baked' flavor profile.
