Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) natural salted peanut butter or almond butter
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened plain almond milk
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup
Additional Ingredients:
- 3/4 tablespoon (11 ml) chia seeds
Instructions
- In a mason jar or bowl with a tight-fitting lid, combine almond milk, chia seeds, peanut butter, and maple syrup. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and peanut butter is fully integrated, creating a uniform creamy base.
- Introduce rolled oats into the mixture, stirring carefully to ensure complete coverage. Press gently with a spoon so each oat becomes saturated with the liquid ingredients, promoting even absorption.
- Seal the container securely and refrigerate for minimum 6-8 hours or overnight. This resting period allows chia seeds and oats to expand and develop a rich, creamy texture.
- Upon removing from refrigerator, check consistency. If too thick, incorporate additional almond milk to achieve desired smoothness. The mixture should have a pudding-like texture.
- Customize with optional toppings like sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. These additions enhance flavor and provide delightful textural contrast.
- For a warm version, microwave for 45-60 seconds or gently heat in a saucepan over medium temperature. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching and maintain creamy consistency.
- Store remaining portions in refrigerator for 2-3 days. Best consumed within first 24 hours for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Swap almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk to customize your dietary needs and flavor preferences.
- Adjust sweetness by using different natural sweeteners like honey, agave, or monk fruit syrup for varied taste profiles.
- Boost protein content by adding a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt for extra nutrition and creaminess.
