There’s something magical about waking up to a delicious, satisfying breakfast waiting for you. And if you happen to have a sweet tooth first thing in the morning, these Overnight Salted Caramel Oats are sure to hit the spot. With a base of rolled oats, chia seeds, almond milk, and vanilla extract, the oats themselves are a treat. But it’s the caramel topping that really takes them to the next level: a blend of almond butter, maple syrup, and just a pinch of salt. And for a little extra indulgence, finish with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate over the top. Who says you can’t have dessert for breakfast?
