Baked oatmeal may be having a moment, but I keep coming back to these overnight oats again and again. A super simple and versatile make-ahead breakfast for those on-the-go days, I can’t get enough of them.

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these Chia Overnight Oats

¾ cup (65 grams) old fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons (30 grams) chia seeds
1½ cups (375 grams) unsweetened plant-based milk
1 teaspoon (3 grams) ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla
½ teaspoon (1.5 grams) cinnamon
Pinch kosher or fine sea salt
Optional toppings: fresh berries, Greek yogurt, sliced banana, almond butter, granola or anything you like

What are chia seeds?

Considered a true super food, chia seeds are produced by a flowering plant in the mint family. They’re high in fibre, protein, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium and antioxidants.

Available packaged or in bulk at most grocery and health food stores, chia seeds are also one of the easiest foods to incorporate into your diet. Simply toss a spoonful into any meal to boost its nutritional value!

Perfectly sweet and scented with cinnamon and vanilla, these Chia Overnight Oats are a meal you can feel good about. They’re naturally gluten and dairy free, and you can dress them up any way you like. Simply mix together the ingredients, store in a sealable jar in the refrigerator overnight (or for up to 5 days) then top with your favourites in the morning!
