Organic Raisins: It wouldn’t be a classic oatmeal raisin cookie without any raisns.
Organic Almond Butter: This overnight oats recipe calls for almond butter. I recommend using almond butter, made with 1 ingredient, almonds. However, if you don’t have have almond butter, you can use any nut or seed butter that you enjoy.
Organic Ceylon Cinnamon: Adding a pinch of cinnamon, truly takes this oatmeal cookie recipe to the next level. Feel free to add extra.
Organic Pure Maple Syrup: For sweetness. I suggest using real maple syrup.

Organic Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk: Any non-dairy milk will work. I personally used organic unseewetend almond milk in this recipe.
Organic Ground Flax Seeds: Loaded with nutrients, high in omega-3 fats, rich in dietary fiber, and you can’t even taste them. They are completely optional, so no problem if you don’t have them…yet!
