Ingredients
Two jars
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened soy milk
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Equipment
- 2 12-ounce lidded jars Wide-mouth jars are easiest to stir
- 1 Spoon For stirring
- 1 set Measuring cups For oats and milk
- 1 set Measuring spoons For chia, maple and vanilla
Instructions
Prepare and chill
- Divide 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats and 2 tablespoons chia seeds evenly between two 12-ounce lidded jars.
- Pour ½ cup soy milk, 1 teaspoon maple syrup and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract into each jar. Stir thoroughly, scraping the bottom so no dry oats or chia remain.
- Close the lids and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight, until the oats are tender and the mixture is thick.
- Stir each jar in the morning. Add a splash of soy milk if needed, then top with fresh fruit just before eating, if desired.

Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats, not steel-cut oats, for the stated overnight timing. Chill at least 6 hours and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days; add fresh fruit at serving time. Contains soy; check oat packaging for gluten cross-contact if needed. The approximate $2.00 batch cost excludes optional fruit. The cookingforpeanuts video was originally uploaded September 5, 2022 and shows the same oats-to-milk base ratio.
