Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats The base that gives this dish its heartiness
  • 2 cups milk of choice For creaminess (dairy, almond, soy, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds For texture and nutritional benefits
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon The star spice that adds warmth
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup Optional, adjust to taste
Toppings (optional)
  • fresh fruit (like bananas or berries)
  • nuts
  • nut butter

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium mixing bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon.
  2. Pour in your choice of milk. If using honey or syrup for sweetness, add it now! Mix well to ensure all ingredients are combined.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a jar or a container with a lid, ensuring there’s enough room for the oats to expand as they soak.
  4. Place the jar in the refrigerator and let it chill overnight, or at least for 4 hours.
  5. In the morning, give your oats a good stir. Top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or nut butter, and enjoy a satisfying breakfast!

Notes

Perfect for meal prep! Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you prefer a warm breakfast, simply reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute. Add a splash of milk to bring back the creamy consistency, stirring well before serving.
