Description
A simple, healthy, and customizable make-ahead breakfast featuring rolled oats, chia seeds, and fruit.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup fruit (fresh berries or sliced strawberries)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Select a jar or small bowl with a lid and add the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon (if using), and nut butter into the container.
- Pour in a small amount of the milk and stir well to loosen the nut butter, then pour in the remaining milk and mix until fully combined.
- Add your fruit on top of the oat mixture; if using fruit that browns like apples, wait to add these until just before serving.
- Secure the lid on the container and place it in the refrigerator to soak for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- When ready to eat, remove from the fridge, add sweetener if desired, and enjoy chilled or warmed slightly in the microwave.
Notes
For a thinner consistency, add an extra splash of milk just before serving. Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
