Introduction

This Cardamom Maple Overnight Oats recipe offers a deliciously fragrant and nutritious start to your day. Infused with warm cardamom and sweet maple syrup, it’s an easy make-ahead breakfast perfect for busy mornings. Topped with fresh and crunchy superfoods, it’s both satisfying and refreshing.

A clear glass bowl contains a three-layered breakfast dish placed on a white marbled textured surface covered partially by a soft white cloth. The bottom layer is creamy and light beige with visible tiny black chia seeds, topped by a soft layer of shredded pale yellow coconut. Above this are clusters of golden brown granola and bright red goji berries scattered evenly. Large, round, deep blue blueberries are arranged mostly along one side, with some red pomegranate seeds mixed among them for a pop of color. To the right of the bowl, a small white bowl is filled with glossy red pomegranate seeds, with some blueberries and goji berries scattered around on the cloth.

Ingredients

1 cup Vanilla Almond Milk
1 cup Oats
1 1/2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons Cardamom-Infused Maple Syrup
Fresh Blueberries, to taste
Goji Berries, to taste
Pomegranate Seeds, to taste
Granola, to taste
Unsweetened Shredded Coconut, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the vanilla almond milk, oats, chia seeds, and cardamom-infused maple syrup.
Step 2: Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Step 3: The next morning, stir the oats once or twice to loosen the mixture. Top with fresh blueberries, goji berries, pomegranate seeds, granola, and shredded coconut according to your preference. Enjoy immediately.

Tips & Variations

For a nuttier flavor, toast the oats lightly before mixing with the liquids.
Swap vanilla almond milk for coconut milk or regular milk based on your taste or dietary needs.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg alongside cardamom for extra warmth and spice.
Use pure maple syrup if you don’t have cardamom-infused syrup; simply add a pinch of ground cardamom to the mix.

Storage

Store the prepared overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the toppings separate if you prefer them crunchy. Reheat gently if desired, or enjoy cold straight from the fridge.

How to Serve

A clear glass bowl has three main layers inside: the bottom layer is a creamy light beige mixture with visible chia seeds, the middle layer is shredded white coconut spread evenly, and the top layer is divided into two parts—one half has light brown crumbled granola, and the other half is filled with dark blue fresh blueberries. Bright red goji berries and scattered pomegranate seeds are sprinkled over the top, adding pops of color. Around the bowl on a white marbled textured surface are scattered blueberries, goji berries, and a small white bowl filled with shiny red pomegranate seeds. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
