Lavender & Dark Chocolate Overnight Oats with Coconut Yogurt (Clean)

By /

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats (organic if possible)

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other clean non-dairy milk, such as oat milk or coconut milk)

  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut yogurt (organic)

  • 1-2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender buds (ensure they are organic and pesticide-free)

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (organic)

  • 1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (optional, for sweetness; use organic)

  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract (organic)

  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (dairy-free, with at least 70% cocoa and minimal added sugar)

  • 2 tablespoons raw nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans; organic if possible)

  • Fresh organic berries or sliced fruit (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

  • Prepare Lavender Milk:

    • In a small saucepan, gently heat the almond milk over low-medium heat until it begins to simmer.

    • Add the lavender buds to the milk, remove from heat, and cover.

    • Let the lavender steep in the milk for about 10 minutes, then strain out the lavender buds. Let the lavender-infused milk cool to room temperature.

  • Mix Ingredients:

    • In a medium-sized bowl or a mason jar, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chia seeds, lavender-infused almond milk, and unsweetened coconut yogurt.

    • Add the pure maple syrup (if using) and pure vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.

  • Add Toppings:

    • Stir in the dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate and the raw nuts.

  • Refrigerate:

    • Cover the bowl or mason jar and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4-6 hours) to allow the oats to soak and the flavors to meld together.

  • Serve:

    • In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Add a splash of additional almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.

    • Top with fresh organic berries or sliced fruit if desired.

  • Enjoy:

    • Enjoy your clean and healthy lavender overnight oats straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.

Tips:

  • Lavender: Use organic culinary lavender to ensure it’s free of pesticides and safe to consume.

  • Nuts: Opt for raw nuts to maximize their nutritional benefits, and consider soaking them overnight to improve digestibility.

  • Sweetener: Pure maple syrup is a cleaner alternative to processed sugars, but you can also use organic raw honey or skip the sweetener altogether if you prefer.

  • Coconut Yogurt: Choose an unsweetened and additive-free coconut yogurt to keep the recipe clean.
