Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Flavor and Sweetness

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Optional Boosters

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Toppings and Garnishes

  • Fresh or frozen berries (to taste)
  • Chopped nuts such as almonds or walnuts (optional)
  • Sliced fresh fruit (optional)
  • Plant-based yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Base: Combine rolled oats, plant-based milk, and the natural gelling agent in a jar or bowl. Stir thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
  2. Add Flavor and Sweetness: Mix in maple syrup (natural) and vanilla extract (natural) to gently sweeten the oats and enhance their natural nuttiness.
  3. Incorporate Optional Boosters: Add chia seeds or other desired superfood boosters to increase fiber and omega-3 content while improving texture.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and place it in the fridge to allow the oats to absorb the liquids and soften, creating a creamy, spoon-ready texture by morning.
  5. Garnish and Enjoy: Stir the oats gently in the morning and top with fresh fruit, nuts, or plant-based yogurt according to preference before serving.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture as they soak up liquid perfectly without becoming mushy.
  • Adjust the oat-to-liquid ratio starting at 1:1 to achieve your preferred consistency.
  • Add fresh toppings right before serving to keep flavors vibrant and textures crisp.
  • If short on time, a minimum of 4 hours soaking will yield creamy oats, though overnight is ideal.
  • Prepare single servings in mason jars for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts.
