Calories 469kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 ½ cup milk any variety dairy or non-dairy
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ½ cup mixed berries fresh or frozen, separated
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey optional
- 2 tablespoons toasted almonds chopped
- Optional toppings for serving: nut butter chocolate chips, cacao nibs, extra chia
Instructions
- Combine milk, vanilla, 1 cup of berries, and maple syrup if you’re using it in a blender or food processor and pulse until well-blended.
- Place quick oats and chia in a bowl. Add milk and stir well to mix.
- Transfer to jars or containers for storage. Refrigerate overnight or until all the liquid is absorbed. Oats and chia will soak up the milk while they are sitting. If possible, stir at least once after sitting for an hour.
- To serve, stir well and top with the remaining berries and chopped almonds.
Notes
- Use rolled oats instead of instant or steel-cut—they hold their texture best after soaking overnight.
- If your oats feel too thick in the morning, just stir in a splash of milk before serving to loosen them up.
- Customize your toppings to keep things fun—try nut butter, extra berries, cacao nibs, or a sprinkle of granola for crunch.
