Ingredients

Base Ingredients

1 cup Milk (can substitute with almond or oat milk for dairy-free) Use milk of choice.
1 cup Rolled Oats (use certified gluten-free oats if necessary) Main ingredient.
2 tablespoons Chia Seeds (substitute with ground flaxseed if desired) Provides texture and nutrients.
2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (can use honey or agave syrup as alternatives) Sweetens the oats.
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (nutmeg can be used for a different flavor) Adds warmth and flavor.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (almond extract can provide a unique twist) Enhances flavor.

Method

Preparation

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Pour in the milk and stir well to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture to individual containers with lids. Refrigerate overnight, or at least for 4 hours, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
In the morning, give the mixture a good stir. If it seems too thick, add a splash more of milk to reach your desired consistency.

Notes

These oats are versatile and can be topped with fresh fruit or nuts for added flavor and nutrition. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days in airtight containers. Adjust sweetness to personal preference.
