In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred plant-based milk). Stir well to ensure all ingredients are fully combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and achieve a creamy texture.
In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Serve your vegan overnight oats in a bowl or a jar. Top with fresh berries, sliced kiwi, or your favorite chopped nuts for an extra burst of flavor and nutrition.
Enjoy a nourishing and dairy-free breakfast that’s perfect for those seeking a yogurt and banana-free option.
