Step-by-Step Instructions

• In a medium jar or container, combine old-fashioned rolled oats, chia seeds or ground flaxseed, ground cinnamon, and optionally, almond flour or oat flour. Add a pinch of fine sea salt and stir well.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together your choice of milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, creamy nut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
• Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the jar and stir thoroughly until well coated. Adjust the consistency with additional milk if necessary.
• Fold in mini chocolate chips and any optional add-ins like chopped nuts or shredded coconut. Reserve some chocolate chips for topping if desired.
• Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or consistency as needed. Add more maple syrup or honey for sweetness, or more milk for creaminess.
• Cover the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and oats to soften.
• Before serving, stir the oats to recombine any settled ingredients. If too thick, add a splash of cold milk.
• Top your oats with additional chocolate chips, banana slices, or a spoonful of yogurt as desired and enjoy!
