3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ½ cups packed blanched fine almond flour

1/4 cup Zen Basil Seeds

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

Blackberry Overnight Oats

Ingredients:

1/2 cup rolled oats

2 tbsp Zen Basil Seeds

2 tbsp yogurt (Greek yogurt or any yogurt of your choice)

3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1/2 cup mashed blackberries

Sliced strawberries for topping

Honey for drizzling

Directions:

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl or a jar, combine the rolled oats, Zen Basil Seeds, yogurt, and milk. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.

Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours. This allows the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.

Serve: The next morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.

Top with Strawberries: Before serving, top your overnight oats with sliced strawberries for a fresh and colorful touch.

Drizzle with Honey: Just before enjoying, drizzle honey over the top of the oats for a touch of sweetness and extra flavor.
