Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1 banana, sliced
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract ensuring all components are evenly mixed.
- Mix Well: Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated for a uniform texture.
- Add Toppings: Layer the sliced banana evenly on top of the oat mixture to add a natural sweetness and texture.

- Feel free to swap banana with other fresh fruits like berries or mango slices.
- Add nuts or seeds for extra crunch and protein.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with agave nectar or honey if not strictly vegan.
- Prepare multiple servings in separate containers for easy grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
