Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats go for the classic, not instant
  • 1 cup coconut milk full-fat for extra creaminess
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds for thickening and fiber
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or your preferred sweetener
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract for flavor
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon optional but worth it
  • Toppings of choice berries, nuts, shredded coconut, etc.

Instructions
 

  • In a jar, mix oats, coconut milk, chia seeds, sweetener, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  • Stir well to combine. Make sure no chia seeds clump up.
  • Seal the jar and place it in the fridge overnight.
  • In the morning, give it a good stir. Add toppings like fruit, nuts, or extra sweetener.
  • Eat directly from the jar because dishes are overrated.
