Cherry Vanilla Almond Overnight Oats

glass meal prep container with cherry vanilla almond overnight oats

This recipe is from my new book, Mediterranean Diet Meal Prep Cookbook. Overnight oats are one of the easiest and healthiest make ahead breakfasts! You also have the option of eating them cold or heating them up. The possibilities for flavor combinations are endless, but I absolutely love the cherries with vanilla and almonds. If you need to make them gluten free, just use certified gluten free oats.

3⅓ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

5 Tablespoons plain, unsalted almond butter

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 Tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup (used all at once)
