    almond joy candy bar turned healthy! almond joy overnight oats are an easy, nutritious and delicious recipe to start the day. from the chocolate to the coconut, it is a match made in heaven paired with the almond slivers.

    Almond Joy Overnight Oats

    who doesn't love to start their day with a little bit of chocolate? this almond joy overnight oats recipe is a healthy way for you to have chocolate for breakfast. i have never made overnight oats before creating this recipe. i have always been a skeptic when it came to overnight oats. would the texture be good and the most important question, would i even like it?

    but oh boy...this recipe came out SO GOOD! it tastes exactly like eating an almond joy but, the only difference is that it's good for you! zero guilt, all pleasure. the coconut and chocolate create the perfect flavor combination within the overnight oats. adding the slivered almonds, adds the perfect crunch to a creamy dish.

    frequently asked questions

    how long will overnight oats last in the fridge?

    you can keep these overnight oats in the fridge for up to 5 days if in an airtight container.

    are chia seeds necessary for overnight oats?

    not at all! in fact, this recipe wouldn't be too different if you omitted them from the recipe. i tend to add them more for the nutritional benefit rather than the textural impact they have.

    are quick oats bad for overnight oats?

    don't use quick oats to make overnight oats as they are so small and won't be able to withstand the almond milk and other ingredients in this recipe. best to use regular rolled oats whenever making overnight oatmeal.
