Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (ensure they're gluten-free if needed)
- 1 cup almond milk (or any other non-dairy milk) Use unsweetened varieties to keep it healthy.
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds Helps thicken the mixture.
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey Use maple syrup for a vegan option.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Feel free to experiment with flavors.
- a pinch salt
Toppings
- to taste fresh fruits (such as berries, bananas, or apples) Enhances flavor and visual appeal.
- to taste nuts or seeds (like almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds) Adds crunch and extra nutrients.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to ensure the oats are fully combined with the liquid and other ingredients.
- Divide the mixture into airtight containers or jars. This recipe typically fills two servings, but you can adjust accordingly.
- Refrigerate the containers for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, creating the perfect texture.
- When you’re ready to serve, take the jar out of the fridge and give it a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Top with fresh fruits and nuts or seeds of your choice. Enjoy your delicious Paleo overnight oats!
