Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup (100 grams) rolled or old fashioned oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or 2 chopped Medjool dates)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 very small pinches fine sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cup (360 mls) plant milk, not soy milk
  • Zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 to 2 vegan graham crackers or digestive biscuits (or similar cookies)

Optional

  • 2 small dollops of vegan lemon curd

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Take two jars or small lidded containers and add to each ½ cup (50 grams) oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, a small pinch of fine sea salt, ¾ cup plant milk, zest of half a lemon, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir thoroughly to mix all ingredients well.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jars tightly with lids and refrigerate them overnight or for up to 5 days to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften, blending the flavors beautifully.
  3. Serve with Toppings: Before serving, crumble vegan graham crackers or digestive biscuits over the oats. Optionally, add a dollop or two of vegan lemon curd on top for extra lemony richness. Serve directly in the jars to minimize cleanup.

Notes

  • Make ahead/meal prep friendly: Prepare a batch during the weekend and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it perfect for quick breakfasts or snacks at home or on-the-go.
  • Use any plant milk except soy milk to maintain desired flavor and texture.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with chopped Medjool dates for natural sweetness.
  • Optional vegan lemon curd adds a richer lemon flavor and creaminess.
