Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup plant-based milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1/4 cup plant-based yogurt (optional)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Place the rolled oats and chia seeds into a clean jar or bowl. These dry ingredients will absorb the liquids and create a creamy texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the plant-based milk and plant-based yogurt if using. Add maple syrup (natural) and vanilla extract (natural) to enhance sweetness and aroma.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all ingredients together until evenly combined and chia seeds are well distributed for consistent texture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or ideally overnight to allow oats and seeds to soak and soften.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Before eating, gently stir and add your favorite fresh fruits, nuts, or natural spices as desired for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for the best creaminess and absorption.
- Maintain a 1:1 ratio of oats to liquid for optimal consistency.
- Frozen berries can be used and act as natural chillers while adding color.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity based on personal sweetness preference.
- Prepare multiple portions at once for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
