❤️ Why You'll Love It
- It's a healthy breakfast recipe; perfect for starting your day!
- It is perfect for busy mornings. Make a batch of overnight oats as part of meal prepping for the week.
- You can add your favorite toppings and customize it.
🧾 Ingredients
- Gluten-free rolled oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats work best for overnight oats. They get soft enough while not being too mushy. If you use steel-cut oats the overnight oats will have a chewier texture.
- Chai spice mix: Adds warming spices. You could also use a chai tea bag by heating up the oat milk and steeping the tea in it. That will add a little caffeine to your morning oats.
- Maple syrup: I used maple syrup because it is one of my favorite sweeteners. You could also use agave syrup, dates, brown sugar, white sugar, or a sugar-free sweetener.
- Vanilla extract: For flavor.
- Oat milk: I like oat milk because it is rich and creamy. You can use full-fat coconut milk, soy milk, cashew milk, or whatever dairy-free milk you like.
- Salt: To enhance the flavors and bring out the sweetness of the maple syrup.

💭 Tips
- You may want more liquid than I've listed. Start with the amount shown and check the consistency in the morning to see if you want more after it's been absorbed.
- If you're in a hurry you can use chai tea instead of chai spice mix.
- For a chai latte overnight oats and for an energy boost, make it with half black tea and half oat milk.
- For a dirty chai latte overnight oats, make it with half black tea and half coffee.
- Start with less chai spice and maple syrup to see how you like. You can always add more, but you can't take it away.
