Ingredients
- 1/3 cup strawberries or raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cup milk or non-dairy milk of your choice
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- In a mason jar, combine berries and chia seeds. Use a fork to gently mash the berries and then stir in chia seeds, you want them to be well incorporated so the berries absorb the chia seeds to create a jam-like texture. (You can also make a full batch of Chia Seed Jam and use a spoonful of that instead.)
- In the separate bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, vanilla extract, sea salt and milk. When well mixed, add the oat mixture to the mason jar on top of the jam mixture. Do not stir the berries with the oats. (You can also do this directly in the mason jar, just avoid stirring in the berries.)
- Add a dollop of peanut butter or nut butter of your choice, cover and place in fridge overnight, or at least 6 hours. Don’t worry if the oats look liquidy; the oatmeal will absorb the milk overnight and the oats will ‘cook’ and soften.
- In the morning, remove the overnight oats from the fridge and enjoy!
