US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a sealable container or mason jar, evenly distribute the old-fashioned rolled oats. Pour the almond milk over the oats, ensuring thorough saturation.
  • Add the crushed pecans to the oats mixture. Drizzle the maple syrup over the pecans and oats. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and add a pinch of salt to enhance flavor and finally sprinkle the chia seeds.
  • Stir all ingredients until well combined and seal the container or mason jar tightly.
  • Place the sealed container in the refrigerator to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors. Refrigerate overnight or for a minimum of 6 hours.
  • Before serving, stir the oats mixture to ensure uniform consistency. If the mixture appears too thick, add a small amount of milk to reach your desired consistency. Transfer to a serving bowl and, if desired, garnish with additional crushed pecans.

Notes

  1. Milk Variations: Feel free to swap almond milk with your milk of choice, such as soy, oat, or even dairy milk for a different twist on flavor and creaminess.
  2. Sweetness Adjustments: If you prefer your oats less sweet, start with less maple syrup and adjust to taste. Conversely, if you have a sweeter tooth, a little extra drizzle in the morning won’t hurt.
  3. Nut Substitutions: Not a fan of pecans or simply out of them? No problem! Walnuts or almonds can be a great substitute, providing a similar crunch and nutty flavor.
  4. Chia Seeds: These are optional but highly recommended for an extra nutritional boost. They also help thicken the oats to a lovely texture.
  5. Texture Preferences: If you prefer your oats a bit looser, simply add a bit more milk in the morning until you reach your desired consistency.
