Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Fresh fruits (e.g., berries, banana slices)
- 2 tablespoons Nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl or a large jar with a tight lid, combine rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
Stir the mixture well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Place the lid on the jar or cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the mixture overnight, or for at least 6 hours to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
In the morning, or whenever ready to serve, give the oats a good stir and then divide them into bowls.
Top the oatmeal with fresh fruits and nuts or seeds as desired.
Enjoy your dairy-free overnight oatmeal cold straight from the fridge, or warm it up in the microwave for a minute or two if you prefer it heated.
