Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk like oat, soy, or coconut)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (adds thickness and omega-3s)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure everything is mixed together.
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy, pudding-like texture.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they’re too thick, you can add a little more plant-based milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, nut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Your vegan overnight oats are ready to eat! They can be enjoyed cold right out of the fridge, or you can warm them up in the microwave for a cozy, comforting breakfast.
