Overnight Oats without Chia Seeds

Overnight oats are typically made with chia seeds because they help provide a thick texture by soaking up the plant-based milk. But they are completely optional and can just as easily be made with flaxseed or a chia seed alternative. These Overnight Oats without Chia Seeds are made with minimal ingredients and are just as delicious!

Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup Old-Fashioned Oats
  • ½ cup Plant-Based Milk unsweetened
  • ¼ cup Plant-Based Yogurt unsweetened
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup more to preference
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  • Add the old-fashioned oats, plant-based milk, plant-based yogurt, ground flaxseed, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into a jar or container that has a lid.
  • Stir well to combine and seal the lid tight. Place in the fridge overnight or for at least 2 hours. Overnight is best.

Notes

Use the appropriate jar: An 8oz jar will be filled to the top with oats and the toppings will overflow a bit so the jar won't close whereas a 16oz jar will allow room for toppings and the lid to close. The 16oz jar is preferred if you're taking the oats on the go.
