Instructions

  • Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and the chia seeds are distributed throughout.
  • Seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and thicken.

Notes

  • Use any milk you prefer, such as coconut, almond, or dairy milk.
  • Frozen blueberries can be used but may release extra moisture as they thaw.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the maple syrup amount.
  • Steel-cut oats are not recommended because they remain very chewy.
