Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium jar or container, combine old-fashioned rolled oats, chia seeds or ground flaxseed, ground cinnamon, and almond flour or oat flour (if using). Add a pinch of fine sea salt. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk of choice, plain or vanilla Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, creamy nut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in your jar. Stir thoroughly to ensure every ingredient is moistened. Adjust consistency with more milk if necessary.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in mini chocolate chips and any optional add-ins. Reserve some chocolate chips for toppings.
  5. Adjust Sweetness and Consistency: Taste and add more sweetener if desired. If too thick, stir in more milk.
  6. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover your jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow oats to absorb the liquid.
  7. Stir Before Serving: Remove from fridge and stir. Add a splash of milk if needed for preference consistency.
  8. Add Toppings and Serve: Top with mini chocolate chips, nut butter, banana slices, or yogurt. Enjoy your nutritious breakfast!
