Description
A delicious and nutritious breakfast option featuring creamy oats with the sweet flavors of maple syrup and brown sugar, perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons toasted nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir well to ensure that all the oats are fully coated and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- If desired, layer the oats in a glass or jar for a visually appealing presentation, starting with a layer of the oat mixture and drizzling extra maple syrup on top.
- Cover the bowl or jars with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or at least for 4 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of almond milk to reach desired consistency. Top with toasted nuts and an additional drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Microwave for about 30 seconds if you prefer warm oats.
- For freezing, portion into freezer-safe containers and thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying.
