Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon almond extract or a dash of cinnamon
- 1 mashed ripe banana
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- Crushed walnuts
Instructions:
-
Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl or a jar, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, almond extract or cinnamon, and mashed ripe banana. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined.
-
Cover and Chill: Cover the oat mixture with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to soften and absorb the flavours.
-
Serve: The next morning, give your oats a stir. If it's too thick, you can add a splash of almond milk to loosen it up.
-
Top with Blueberries and Walnuts: Before serving, top your oats with fresh blueberries and crushed walnuts. This adds a burst of flavor and a satisfying crunch to your breakfast.
-
Optional Toppings: Get creative with toppings! You can add a drizzle of almond butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a splash of extra almond milk for added creaminess.
