In a medium-sized bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Stir the mixture well to ensure that the chia seeds and oats are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl or seal the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add a splash of almond milk to loosen it up.
Divide the oats into two servings. Top each serving with your choice of fresh fruit, nuts or seeds, and vegan yogurt if using.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, adjusting the consistency with a bit more almond milk if needed before eating.
