Basic Chia Overnight Oats

My go-to chia overnight oats recipe. Soak these oats overnight and you'll get a thick and creamy bowl of oatmeal in the morning. Top it with fruit and nut or seed butter for a delicious and satisfying breakfast.

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 cup plant-based milk of choice, unsweetened

Suggested Toppings

  • Fresh fruit
  • Nut or seed butter

Instructions

Notes

I recommend eating overnight oats within 3 days and not to prepare them for an entire week in advance.
I like to serve mine with half a mashed banana, berries and peanut butter or sunflower seed butter. My favorite milk to use is unsweetened almond milk, but you can use what you have on hand.
