  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

Combine the rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a glass mason jar.
Stir the mixture thoroughly with a long spoon to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Close the jar tightly with a lid.
Place the jar in the refrigerator for at least four hours or ideally overnight.
Remove the lid the following morning and add your preferred fresh fruit toppings.
Stir the oats once more before eating to ensure the consistency is uniform.

Notes

Use wide-mouth jars for easier mixing and eating. Feel free to add protein powder to the liquid base for an extra nutritional boost. You can adjust the liquid ratio if you prefer a thicker or thinner consistency. Keep refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
