The method
Step by step

Combine the rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a jar or airtight container.

About 1 min
- 3
Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
Cook’s note: The longer the oats rest, the creamier and thicker they will become.

In the morning, give the oats a good stir and add the berries on top.
About 1 min
