Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons (28 g) chia seeds
- 0.5 cup (60 g) raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon sweetener
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a 16-ounce (470 ml) airtight jar or container, combine 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats, 1 cup (240 ml) milk, 2 tablespoons (28 g) chia seeds, and 1 tablespoon sweetener. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture looks uniformly wet.
- Add Raspberries: Gently layer 0.5 cup (60 g) fresh or thawed raspberries into the jar, pressing some against the sides for a ribbon effect or mixing them in.
- Chill Overnight: Cover the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight (8+ hours), allowing the oats and chia seeds to plump up and thicken.
- Serve Chilled: In the morning, open the jar. The oats should be thick and creamy; stir gently. If too thick, add a splash more milk until desired consistency is reached. Serve chilled.
Notes
For a creamier texture, stir in a spoonful of Greek yogurt before chilling. Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth. Use mixed berries for a kid-friendly twist. Ensure a good initial stir and sufficient chilling time (at least 4 hours) for best results. If too thick, add a splash of milk.
