Baklava Overnight Oats recipe

Baklava Overnight Oats are not only healthy but also feel like a special treat. This easy recipe mimics a traditional dessert favored in Turkey, Greece, and the Middle East. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup, these oats contain no gluten, soy, or dairy. This make-ahead recipe is packed with protein and fiber, making it a fantastic choice for breakfast.

Start with the baklava nut mixture. Chop the nuts and toss them with almond flour, cinnamon, fresh lime zest, a pinch of salt, and maple syrup. Next, heat up the milk. I use homemade almond milk for this recipe, but feel free to use your choice of dairy-free milk. Combine the old-fashioned oats with chia seeds, lime zest, maple syrup, vanilla, a few tablespoons of dairy-free yogurt, and most of the heated milk. Add in ¼ of the baklava nut mixture and stir to combine. Set aside for a while. Then divide the oats between two jars. Top with the remaining nut mixture. Cover and transfer to the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight. To serve, top the oats with banana or berries if you wish. The recipe makes 2 servings, but you can easily scale it up if you need to.
