Instructions
Combine Base Ingredients
Add the rolled oats and chia seeds to a mason jar or lidded container. Pour in the unsweetened oat milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir everything thoroughly with a spoon making sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping at the bottom of the jar.
Refrigerate Overnight
Seal the jar or container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 6 hours but ideally overnight for 8 hours. The chia seeds and oats will absorb the oat milk and expand to create a thick pudding like consistency.
Check and Adjust Consistency
Remove the jar from the refrigerator in the morning and stir the oats well. If the mixture is thicker than you prefer, add a splash of oat milk one tablespoon at a time and stir until you reach your desired consistency.
Top and Serve
Divide the overnight oats between two bowls or eat directly from the jar. Top generously with the fresh mixed berries. Serve cold straight from the refrigerator or allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if you prefer a slightly warmer temperature.
