A Bakery-Inspired Breakfast in a Jar
There’s something so comforting about the combination of raspberries and almonds—it’s a flavor duo often found in muffins, pastries, and even tarts.
This recipe channels those cozy, slightly indulgent vibes into a balanced breakfast option that’s as good for you as it is tasty.
Rolled oats and chia seeds form the creamy base, while raspberries add natural sweetness and a pop of color.
Almond milk keeps it light, almond butter adds richness, and a touch of maple syrup ties everything together. It’s creamy, tangy, and just sweet enough—perfect served cold, straight from the fridge.
What You’ll Need
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or almond-based yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (plus more for topping)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (or vanilla extract)
- Pinch of sea salt
Optional Toppings:
- Sliced almonds
- More raspberries
- A drizzle of almond butter
- Coconut flakes
- Granola
Pro Tips
- Use mashed raspberries – Lightly mash some raspberries before mixing for a beautiful pink color and even distribution.
- Toast the almonds – Toasting sliced almonds brings out their nutty flavor and adds a satisfying crunch.
- For a smoother texture – Blend the oats and raspberries before chilling for a pudding-like consistency.
- Chill overnight – Four hours will do, but overnight chilling creates the thickest, creamiest oats.
- Top last minute – Always add toppings like almonds and extra fruit right before serving to keep them fresh and crunchy.
Tools You’ll Need
- Mason jar or airtight container
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixing bowl or mason jar
- Spoon or spatula
- Refrigerator
Substitutions and Variations
- No almond butter? Try cashew or peanut butter.
- Dairy-free? Use almond yogurt or coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- Gluten-free? Make sure your oats are certified gluten-free.
- No chia seeds? Swap with flaxseed meal or omit (texture will be slightly looser).
- Want more protein? Stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder or add extra Greek yogurt.
Make-Ahead Tips
These raspberry almond oats are perfect for meal prepping. You can prepare 2–3 jars ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. The flavor gets even better as it sits.
Keep toppings like nuts or granola separate until ready to eat to maintain their crunch. If the oats become too thick, just stir in a splash of almond milk before serving.
For an even more luxurious version, layer the oats parfait-style in small jars with extra raspberries and yogurt—it’s perfect for brunch or breakfast on the go.
How to Make Raspberry Almond Overnight Oats
1. Mash the Raspberries
In a small bowl, lightly mash the raspberries with a fork to release their juices. You can leave some whole for texture.
2. Mix the Base Ingredients
In a mason jar or bowl, combine almond milk, Greek yogurt, almond butter, maple syrup, and almond extract. Stir until smooth.
3. Add Oats and Chia Seeds
Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Then fold in the mashed raspberries until evenly mixed.
4. Chill Overnight
Cover the jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
5. Add Toppings and Serve
In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Top with fresh raspberries, a drizzle of almond butter, and sliced almonds.
Leftovers and Storage
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. If the mixture thickens too much, stir in a splash of almond milk before eating. Add toppings just before serving to keep textures fresh.
These oats can also be frozen in individual portions—just thaw overnight in the fridge and stir before serving.
