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