Equipment
- Mason jars or airtight containers
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Mixing spoon
Materials
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups plant-based milk almond, oat, soy, or coconut
- 1/2 cup dairy-free yogurt optional, coconut or almond yogurt
- 2 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds optional
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey if not vegan
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- salt pinch
- fresh fruit, nut butter, or granola for topping
Instructions
- In each jar or container, combine ½ cup rolled oats with ½ cup plant-based milk.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons yogurt (optional), ½ tablespoon chia seeds, and ½ tablespoon maple syrup.
- Add a dash of vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix well until combined. The mixture should look slightly runny, as the oats will absorb liquid overnight.
- Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, stir and adjust consistency with a splash of milk if needed.
- Top with fruit, nut butter, or granola before serving.
Notes
For high protein oats, use soy milk, add a scoop of protein powder, or top with nut butter.
To make baby-friendly oats, skip sweeteners and add mashed fruit instead.
These oats will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
