Ingredients
  

  • Base:
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ½ cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 tbsp nut butter peanut, almond, or cashew
  • 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Add-ins:
  • 1–2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt optional for extra creaminess
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder optional
  • Toppings optional:
  • Extra chocolate chips
  • Drizzle of nut butter
  • Sliced banana or granola

Instructions
 

  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in milk, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  • Add Chocolate Chips: Fold them in gently for that cookie dough texture.
  • Refrigerate: Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Serve: Stir, add toppings like nut butter or banana slices, and enjoy straight from the jar or bowl.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats, not quick oats, for the best chewy texture.
  • Add a spoonful of Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein.
  • Adjust milk for your preferred consistency — less for thicker oats, more for creamier ones.
  • Warm it up in the microwave for 30 seconds if you prefer it cozy.
