Ingredients
Base Ingredients
-
½ cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
-
½ cup unsweetened oat milk (or any plant-based milk)
-
1 tablespoon sunflower seed butter
-
1 tablespoon maple syrup
-
1 teaspoon chia seeds
-
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
Mix-ins
-
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)
Instructions
-
Combine dry ingredients
In a small jar or bowl, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, and salt together to evenly distribute everything. -
Add wet ingredients
Pour in oat milk, maple syrup, sunflower seed butter, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the sunflower seed butter is fully blended into the mixture. -
Add chocolate chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips last to keep them from melting into the oats during mixing. -
Chill overnight
Cover the jar or container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best texture. -
Serve
Enjoy straight from the fridge, or warm slightly in the microwave if preferred. Stir before eating and add extra milk if needed.
Notes
-
Always check that your oats are certified gluten-free if you’re preparing this for someone with celiac disease.
-
Sunflower seed butter is a great nut-free substitute, but you can also use oat butter or coconut butter.
-
For extra protein, add a scoop of your favorite vanilla plant-based protein powder.
-
These oats keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days—great for meal prep!
-
Add-ins like shredded coconut, cinnamon, or almond extract (if no allergy) can create fun flavor variations.
-
If the oats become too thick in the fridge, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk before serving to loosen the texture.
