Ellie Krieger’s Overnight Oats in Jars

By catgirl

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup whole natural almonds, divided
• 1 1/2 cups nonfat or 1% low-fat milk
• 1 cup nonfat or low-fat plain yogurt
• 1/3 cup all-fruit blueberry jam
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 cups fresh fruit, such as blueberries or sliced peaches, divided

Preparation

Step 1

1. Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and fragrant, 3-5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then chop them coarsely.



2. In a medium bowl, stir together the milk, yogurt, jam, and vanilla. Stir in the oats, chia seeds, and half of the almonds. Then, stir in 1 cup of the fruit.



3. Divide the mixture evenly among four 12-ounce (1 1/2 cup) jars. Top each with the remaining fruit and almonds. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. The jars will keep up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
