Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ¾ cup milk (or yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • ½ cup fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a jar or bowl, combine the 0.5 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and 0.75 cup milk (or yogurt). Stir well to ensure no dry clumps remain.

  2. 2

    Stir in the 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.

  3. 3

    When ready to serve, give the oats a good stir. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen.

  4. 4

    Top with the 0.5 cup fresh berries and serve cold. Enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
