Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp (12g) chia seeds
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Grab a glass mason jar. Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, salt, and ground cinnamon. Note: Mixing dry ingredients first ensures the cinnamon doesn't clump.
  2. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
  3. Stir vigorously with a spoon. Stir until no dry clumps of chia seeds remain and the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
  4. Seal the lid tightly. Shake the jar one final time to make sure every oat flake is submerged.
  5. Place the jar in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 6 hours, though overnight is best.
  6. Remove the jar from the fridge in the morning.
  7. Stir the oats once more before serving. Wait until you see a thick, pudding like consistency.
  8. Adjust the thickness. If it feels too thick, stir in an extra tablespoon of almond milk until it reaches your preferred creaminess.
