Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt in a glass jar. Pour in the milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla.
  • Stir vigorously for 30 seconds, ensuring no dry pockets remain at the bottom. Secure the lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Before eating, give the oats a final stir. If the texture is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it up. Top with a tiny extra sprinkle of brown sugar for a little morning magic!

Notes

For the best texture, use Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats rather than Quick Oats. If you are prepping for the whole week, these will stay fresh and delicious in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you prefer a protein boost, stir in two tablespoons of Greek yogurt before chilling.
