Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for added creaminess)

1/2 cup fresh fruits (berries, banana slices, or diced apple)

A handful of nuts or seeds (almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds)

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Stir them well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl or jar, mix together the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt (if using). Stir until well combined.

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until all oats are fully immersed in the liquid.

Add your choice of fresh fruits and nuts, folding them gently into the oat mixture.

Divide the mixture into individual jars or bowls and cover tightly with lids or plastic wrap.

Refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.

In the morning, give the oats a good stir and adjust the consistency with a little more milk if desired. Top with additional fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey if you like.
