Instructions
- Step 1: In a mason jar or bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Stir well to mix.
- Step 2: Gently fold in 1/2 cup mixed berries, then cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours) to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Step 3: Before serving, stir the oats mixture, add 1/4 cup Greek yogurt if using for extra creaminess, and sprinkle 2 tbsp toasted sliced almonds on top for crunch and nuttiness.
