Method

Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a mason jar or sealable container, add 1 cup of rolled oats and 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Grate the zest of one lime directly into the mix. Stir gently to combine.

Mix the Creamy Ingredients

Pour in 1 cup of plain non-dairy yogurt and 1 cup of unsweetened non-dairy milk. Squeeze in the juice of two fresh limes and add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Whisk until combined and smooth.

Refrigerate to Thicken

Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The oats will absorb the liquid and thicken.

Final Stir and Serve

Remove the oats from the fridge, stir well, and enjoy them in a bowl or straight from the jar, adding toppings like granola or fresh fruit as desired.
