Overnight Keto Oats (Chia Seed Pudding with Nut Butter) – Beginner Friendly!
This recipe is a perfect grab-and-go breakfast option for anyone new to the kitchen or following a keto diet. It’s simple, requires minimal ingredients, and can be customized with your favorite flavors!
Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 0 minutes Additional Time: 8 hours chilling (overnight) Total Time: 8 hours 5 minutes Servings: 1
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened nut milk (almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk)
- 1-2 tablespoons nut butter (almond butter, peanut butter, macadamia nut butter)
- Optional sweeteners (stevia, erythritol, monk fruit sweetener) to taste
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- Toppings (berries, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sugar-free chocolate chips)
Instructions:
- Grab a jar or container with a lid. Mason jars work great for this recipe!
- Add the chia seeds and nut milk to the jar. Give it a good stir to make sure the chia seeds are well coated.
- Now, add your nut butter. Start with 1 tablespoon and taste. You can always add more later if desired.
- For sweetness, add your preferred keto-friendly sweetener a little at a time. Stevia drops, erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener all work well. Again, taste and adjust to your preference.
- If you like a little more depth of flavor, add a pinch of salt.
- Stir everything together one last time, making sure there are no clumps of nut butter.
- Screw on the lid and place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- In the morning, take your chia pudding out of the fridge and give it a quick stir.
- Top with your favorite keto-friendly toppings! Berries, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sugar-free chocolate chips are all delicious options.
Tips:
- You can use any type of unsweetened nut milk you prefer. Just make sure to check the carb count to ensure it fits your macros.
- If the chia pudding seems too thick in the morning, add a splash more nut milk to thin it out.
- Get creative with your flavors! Try adding a teaspoon of cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist, or a quarter teaspoon of vanilla extract for a classic flavor.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to meal prep breakfast for the whole week.
