There are 48 Almond Joy recipes on Beaming Baker. Or… so I thought. Lol. (Okay, to be honest, I thought there were, like, 480 Almond Joy recipes on BB, but then, again, I tend to have a flair for pomp and circumstance… and exaggeration.) 😉

After 3+ years of writing this food blog and over 3 decades of hearing my mom talk about/obsess/fawn over Almond Joy, my thoughts, recipes and even sleepless nights are ruled by visions of it.

Anywho, in an effort to fact check my, erm, thoughts, I turned over to Erik and asked him, “Off the top of your head, how many Almond Joy recipes do we have on the blog?” And, of course, he says, “Hmm… my guess is 7.”

Any guesses as to who was close to the correct answer?

ERIK! Dagnabit. It’s always Erik. Well, he was mostly right. There are 8 other Almond Joy recipes on Beaming Baker. Can you believe how close he was? Let’s just say if one of us were to be picked for The Price Is Right, we all know who’s going up to the stage. Harrumph!

Overnight oats are a super easy breakfast recipe that combines oats, sometimes a sweetener, almost always chia seeds and a creamy ingredient. All three of these ingredients combine in a bowl (or jar), then get soaked & thickened overnight in the refrigerator.

Come morning, you’ve got one of the most delightful breakfast treats you’ve ever had!

So what are Almond Joy Overnight Oats?

A rich ‘n creamy base of oats + yummy chocolate chips + chewy coconut bits + ALL of the chocolate drizzle / almond and coconut topping = the greatest Almond Joy Overnight Oats ever! (And you totally deserve it.)

---

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Almond Joy Overnight Oats

• ½ cup gluten free rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds
• 1 ½ tablespoons small coconut flakes
• 1–3 teaspoons vegan mini chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons chopped almonds
• 3 tablespoons coconut cream or non-dairy vanilla yogurt*
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or almond extract**
• 1–3 teaspoons pure maple syrup
• ½ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk

Optional Toppings

• Coconut flakes, chocolate chips, almonds, chocolate sauce

---

Instructions

1. If making two medium servings, set aside two resealable jars. Here are the resealable glass jars that I use. If making one large serving, set aside one large jar.
2. Add all ingredients to two medium jars or one large jar, leaving enough room to stir.
3. Stir until well mixed. Add optional toppings (nuts, coconut, etc.). Seal jars.
4. Store overnight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Overnight oats will become thicker as each day passes. If desired, add non-dairy milk to thin it out. Enjoy cold, or heat in the microwave in 20-second increments until warm.
