Breakfast & Brunch Healthy Cereal Recipes Healthy Oatmeal Recipes Overnight Oatmeal Almond Joy-Inspired Overnight Oats 3.9 (7) 5 Reviews 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.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
