Rolled oats and chia seeds soaked overnight in almond milk until creamy and thick, sweetened with maple syrup and topped with fresh mixed berries. A no-cook, make-ahead breakfast that's ready the moment you wake up.
Ingredients
pantry
- 50 grolled oats
- 1 tbspchia seeds
- 1 tbspmaple syrup
dairy
- 150 mlalmond milk
produce
- 80 gmixed berries
Steps
- Spoon the rolled oats and chia seeds into a jar or container with a lid.
- Pour the almond milk over the oats and chia seeds.
- Drizzle in the maple syrup.
- Stir well with a spoon for about 30 seconds, making sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped at the bottom.
- Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until the oats have softened and the mixture has thickened.
- In the morning, remove the jar from the fridge and give the oats a good stir to redistribute any settled chia seeds.
- If the oats seem too thick, stir in a splash more almond milk to loosen them to your preferred consistency.
- Rinse the mixed berries under cool water and pat dry.
- Top the oats with the fresh berries just before eating.
- Enjoy cold, straight from the jar or spooned into a bowl.
Tips
- Stir the mixture well right after combining so the chia seeds don't clump together at the bottom of the jar.
- Let the oats chill for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight, so they fully soften and thicken.
- Add the berries just before eating so they stay fresh rather than turning mushy in the fridge overnight.
- Loosen the oats with a splash more almond milk in the morning if they've thickened more than you like.
