Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fruit and nuts for toppings (e.g., berries, bananas, almonds)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt if desired.
- Mix in Liquids: Pour in the milk of your choice, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
- Chill & Absorb: Cover the mixture tightly and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell, creating a creamy consistency.
- Stir & Adjust Consistency: In the morning, remove the jar from the fridge. Stir the mixture gently and add more milk if desired to reach your preferred consistency.
- Top & Serve: Finish your overnight oats with your favorite fruits and nuts before digging in. Savor every bite!
