Salted Chocolate Almond Butter Oat Recipe

Author: Noelle Khan

We believe that an indulgent breakfast should wow your taste buds and offer a major boost of energy without spiking your blood sugar or taking up too much time to prep. If you’re on the hunt for a convenient, nutritious and sinfully sweet first meal of the day, we’ve got you covered. This easy to assemble breakfast is packed with fiber from the gluten-free rolled oats, healthy dietary fats from the creamy almond butter, and disease defending antioxidants from the dark chocolate chunks. Best of all, you can increase the quantities for this recipe and store portions of the overnight oats for up to three days in your refrigerator. The thick oats will soak up the milk and flavorings as it chills and softens in the fridge. When ready to eat, simply add the crumble topping and your fruit of choice before digging in. We hope you love this lush and creamy breakfast just as much as we do!
