Almond Joy Inspired Overnight Oats

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

These meal-prep-friendly overnight oats have all the flavors of an Almond Joy candy bar. Coconut is highlighted in each bite, from the canned milk and extract in the oat mixture to the flaked coconut on top. Coconut cream and shredded coconut can be substituted for the milk and flaked coconut, respectively. The chocolate-covered almonds and chocolate shell re-create the iconic look and taste of the candy bar.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup packed plus 1 teaspoon unsweetened flaked coconut, divided
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons white or black chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 3 tablespoons mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons unrefined coconut oil
  • 4 whole unsalted roasted almonds
  • 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Directions:
  1. Whisk oats, almond milk, coconut milk, 1/2 cup coconut flakes, sliced almonds, chia seeds and coconut extract together in a large bowl until combined. Refrigerate, uncovered, until set and thickened, about 1 hour.
  2. Stir chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High until the chocolate is melted, 45 to 60 seconds; stir until the chocolate chips are completely melted and incorporated into the oil.
  3. Divide the oat mixture among 4 (8-ounce) jars, about 1 cup each. Dip whole almonds in the melted chocolate, stirring to coat. Lift and let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl; place the coated almonds on a small parchment-paper-lined plate and refrigerate. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate over each jar, tilting to cover the entire surface. Refrigerate, uncovered, until the chocolate layer is just set, about 10 minutes. Top each jar with 1 chocolate-coated almond. Sprinkle with flaky salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon coconut flakes; cover and refrigerate until the oatmeal has thickened and the chocolate layer is fully set, at least 12 hours or up to 4 days.
