Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats Also known as old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk For a clean, creamy base
- 1 tbsp chia seeds For thickness and extra fiber
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup or agave To taste
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract Adds warmth and flavor
- 1 pinch salt To balance sweetness
Toppings
- fresh fruit (e.g., berries, banana, peach, mango, chopped apple) For sweetness and texture
- 1 spoonful nut or seed butter Optional, almond butter is great
- toasted nuts (almonds or walnuts) For crunch
- ground cinnamon or cardamom To match fruit choice
Instructions
Preparation
- Add rolled oats and chia seeds to a jar.
- Pour in almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir well until all oats are wet and chia seeds are dispersed.
- Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- In the morning, stir and adjust sweetness with more maple syrup if needed.
- Top with your choice of fresh fruit, nuts, and a drizzle of nut butter.
Notes
Choose rolled oats for the best texture. Stir twice to distribute chia seeds evenly. The base keeps for 3 days in the fridge; add berries right before serving for freshness.
