Overnight oats ingredients
- 1¼ cup unsweetened soy milk (or other nondairy milk)
- 1 cup old-fashioned (rolled) oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 2½ teaspoons maple syrup (or 1 tablespoon if you prefer it sweeter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chai spice blend ingredients
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
Optional toppings
- plain or vanilla nondairy yogurt
- pinch of coconut sugar
- pinch of ground cinnamon
Add the overnight oats ingredients and chai spice blend ingredients to a blender (for blended oats with a fluffier, smoother consistency) or a large bowl (for overnight oats with more texture).
Pulse the mixture in the blender until it is mostly smooth and creamy (or, if mixing in a bowl, stir until well-combined).
Pour the mixture into your storage container(s) of choice. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, remove the cover(s) and add any desired toppings. I like to add a spoonful of nondairy yogurt, a pinch of coconut sugar, and a pinch of ground cinnamon. Chai overnight oats are best enjoyed slightly chilled.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
