  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

  2. Refrigerate Overnight:
    Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and thicken.

    In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they’re too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.

    They stay fresh for up to 4 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
  • Can I make this nut-free?
    Absolutely! Swap the nut butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini.
