Instructions

1. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix well to distribute the cinnamon evenly.

2. Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in 1 cup of milk or plant-based milk of your choice. Add 1 tablespoon of nut butter, 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to ensure the nut butter and coconut sugar are well incorporated.

3. Fold in Fruits
Gently fold in 1/2 cup of mixed berries or chopped fruit of your choice. Ensure the fruit is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

4. Chill
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual jars or airtight containers. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.

5. Serve
In the morning, give the oats a good stir to recombine any settled ingredients.
Add desired optional toppings like nuts, seeds, dried coconut, honey, maple syrup, or yogurt to enhance flavor and texture. Enjoy your chilled, creamy, and nutritious breakfast.
