Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract (if using) in a jar or container with a lid.
- Stir the mixture well until the chia seeds and oats are fully incorporated into the liquid.
- Gently fold in the mixed berries. If using frozen berries, they will thaw overnight and release juice.
- Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- In the morning, stir the oats again. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Eat cold directly from the container.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
- Use any milk you prefer: almond, soy, oat, or cow’s milk works well.
- Adjust the sweetener to your taste. You can omit it entirely if your berries are very sweet.
- This recipe keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for easy meal prepping.
