Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl or jar, combine oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are mixed.

Step 2

Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.

Step 3

In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If too thick, add a splash more milk to reach desired consistency.

Step 4

Divide oats between two bowls or jars. Top each with mixed berries, a tablespoon of almond butter, and sliced almonds if using.

Step 5

Serve immediately, or cover and keep chilled until ready to eat.
