Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 cup Milk (Dairy or Non-Dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 cup Pecans, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon Pinch of Salt

Combine Ingredients

In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, milk, maple syrup, chopped pecans, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt.

Mix Well

Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

Refrigerate Overnight

Seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to soften and the flavors to meld together.

Enjoy!

In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Enjoy cold, straight from the refrigerator. Top with additional pecans, a drizzle of maple syrup, or fresh fruit, if desired.
