Description
Prepare this simple, no-cook breakfast the night before for a quick morning meal. It features mixed berries and chia seeds for texture and nutrition.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a jar or container with a lid.
- Stir the mixture well until the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Gently fold in the mixed berries.
- Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- In the morning, stir the oats before serving. Add a splash more milk if the consistency is too thick for your liking.
Notes
- You can use any milk you prefer, such as almond, soy, or oat milk, to keep this recipe Vegan.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure you use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
- If using frozen berries, they will release more liquid as they thaw overnight, which may slightly thin the oats.
- Add a scoop of protein powder before refrigeration for a higher protein breakfast.
