Instructions

Combine Ingredients: Add all base ingredients—rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract, pinch of salt, and optional almond or cashew butter—into a sealable container and mix thoroughly until well combined.
Chill and Soften: Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least a few hours or preferably overnight. This resting period allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid, softening and thickening into a creamy consistency.
Serve and Enjoy: When ready to eat, stir the oats if needed, divide into serving jars or bowls, add the vegan sprinkles on top for a festive touch, and enjoy your delicious birthday cake-inspired overnight oats.

Notes

Use any plant-based milk for a vegan option. Almond milk is recommended for a mild, nutty flavor.
Maple syrup provides natural sweetness, but you can adjust or substitute with honey if not vegan.
Adding almond or cashew butter enhances creaminess and adds healthy fats but is optional.
Vegan sprinkles are suggested to keep the recipe vegan-friendly and allergen-aware.
Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
