Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240ml) or any milk of choice
- ½ cup mixed fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries) (75g)
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds) (30g)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (15g)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds (optional) (10g)
- 1 tablespoon honey or pure maple syrup (15ml)
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional) (60g)
Instructions
- Toast the chopped nuts and chia seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3–5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
- In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and almond milk. Stir gently to coat and let sit for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly.
- Spoon the soaked oats into a serving bowl. Add a generous layer of fresh mixed berries on top, followed by toasted nuts and seeds. If using, add a dollop of Greek yogurt.
- Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the bowl to add sweetness.
- Optionally, gently stir everything together or leave layered for visual appeal. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Toast nuts and seeds separately to enhance flavor and crunch. For overnight oats, soak oats and milk overnight and add fresh fruit and toppings just before serving. Use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version. Substitute nuts with pumpkin seeds for nut allergies. Fresh fruit can be swapped with frozen or seasonal fruits like peaches or mango.
