I just made some overnight oats with pureed cashews and was rather pleased by this agreeable way of getting some nuts in my diet (I’m not a big fan of just eating nuts…), so I figured this would be a good follow-up. I broke the ingredients down into individual servings based on 1/2 cup of oats and was rather shocked by that resulting in a whole cup of milk. I’ve never made oats with that much milk. I figured this just made runnier oats. But then I got to thinking about the ingredients… The aforementioned cashews made those oats insanely thick, and I could only assume the almond butter would do the same here. Then there was the protein powder. And the TWO TABLESPOONS of chia. So I went with the whole cup (I just barely didn’t have enough… I had to top off with about a teaspoon of water), and boy am I glad I did. The oats are a perfect, thick, decadent mass of almost-chia-pudding! The cacao nibs are a crown for this textural feast. This might become my go-to for a while… Though I will have to get more nibs if it does. Thank you so much for the recipe!

So if it’s 8 servings, is a half cup a serving or a full cup?

In reply to Renee. That shouldn't have matter. Try a little bit less liquid or more oats to get a thicker consistency. I hope you like them!!

Maybe it’s because I used almond milk, but the ratio was wayyy off, basically soup (nothing like the picture). Going to try it again tomorrow with a 1:1 ratio of oats-to-milk and hopefully that works!
