Notes
- You can substitute almond butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and skip the white chocolate chips or find a vegan alternative.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the maple syrup to suit your taste.
- Overnight oats keep well for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- Melt white chocolate gently to avoid burning; stir frequently while microwaving.
