Description

Adapted from my friend Serena Wolf’s recipe, which can be found here. Her apple pie overnight oats are also a favorite but entail a teensy bit more work.

Notes

Oat Milk: I love the Minor Figures oat milk for my morning muesli, for my sleeping chocolate (Beam), and, now, for these oats. I do not like it in my coffee. As noted below, use whatever milk your heart desires.

Weck jars: I love these Weck jars for storing the muesli because one is large enough for the entire batch with room for fruit.  


Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 1/41 1/2 cups oat milk or milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • a big pinch of flaky sea salt
  • cinnamon, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, using 1.25 cups milk if you like a thicker “oatmeal” consistency and 1.5 cups milk if you like a milkier mixture. Transfer the mixture to a storage jar and place in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours but ideally 12 or more. The oats can stay in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
  2. Remove the jar from the fridge and transfer the contents to two bowls. Top with fruit if desired, then serve.
