Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon (7g) maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Measure the 45g of old-fashioned rolled oats into your clean glass jar. Note: Using rolled oats ensures a chewy texture.
  2. Add the 12g of chia seeds directly onto the oats. Note: Chia seeds are essential for thickening.
  3. Sprinkle in the 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and the pinch of sea salt. Until the dry mix looks uniform.
  4. Pour the 160ml of unsweetened almond milk over the dry ingredients. Note: Use cold milk for the best hydration rate.
  5. Drizzle the 7g of maple syrup and the 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the liquid.
  6. Stir vigorously for 30 seconds. Ensure you scrape the bottom edges where chia seeds love to hide.
  7. Rest the jar on the counter for 5 minutes. Note: This allows the chia seeds to begin their first stage of hydration.
  8. Stir one more time to break up any clumps that formed during the rest.
  9. Seal the lid tightly to prevent the oats from absorbing fridge smells.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Wait until the mixture is thick and plush.
