Ingredients
Scale
Oats Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Flavorings
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl or mason jar, add 1 cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices and sugar.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in 1 cup of milk and add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup along with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the oats are submerged.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.
- Serve and enjoy: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If desired, add extra milk to adjust the consistency, and optionally top with fresh fruit, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance the cinnamon roll flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy a healthy and delicious breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with almond, soy, oat, or any other plant-based milk to keep it dairy-free.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by modifying the amount of maple syrup or brown sugar.
- For added texture, add toppings like chopped nuts or raisins before serving.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
- For a vegan option, ensure the milk and sweeteners used are plant-based and vegan-friendly.
