Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup plant-based dairy (such as almond or oat milk)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (natural gelling agent)
  • 1 tablespoon natural sweetener (maple syrup or date syrup)

Fruit and Flavor Add-Ins (optional)

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen fruits (berries, mango, banana, apple, etc.)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cardamom (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (optional for savory)

Variation Ingredients (optional)

  • Mixed berries and a splash of grape juice (natural) for Berry blast

  • Natural peanut butter and banana slices for Peanut butter dream
  • Diced apples and a splash of apple cider vinegar (natural) with cinnamon for Spiced apple
  • Plant-based cocoa powder and natural vanilla extract for Chocolate indulgence

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Measure out rolled oats, plant-based dairy, chia seeds, and any desired flavorings to prepare efficiently.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a clean bowl or jar, mix rolled oats and chia seeds evenly to distribute the natural gelling agent for ideal texture.
  3. Add Liquids and Sweeteners: Pour plant-based dairy and natural sweetener into the dry mixture; stir well to coat every oat and seed for flavor absorption.
  4. Mix in Fruits and Spices: Add chosen fresh, frozen, or dried fruits; sprinkle in spices and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce if making savory; stir gently to combine.
  5. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight allowing the oats to soften and develop a creamy texture.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture and liquid absorption.
  • Adjust consistency by adding more plant-based dairy or natural gelling agent to your preference.
  • Sweeten after mixing fruits as some fruits add natural sweetness.
  • Layer oats with fruits or nuts in jars for attractive presentation.
  • Introduce spices gradually to enhance flavor without overpowering.
