Overnight oats flavored with a homemade chai spice blend and maple syrup, divided into two containers. The spice blend also works as a dry gift-jar mix.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Optional toppings: blueberries, sliced strawberries, sliced banana, shaved coconut, chopped nuts, raisins

Directions

  • Stir the spices, oats, and chia seeds together in a medium bowl. Mix in the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  • Share between 2 containers, leaving some space at the top. Cover and chill overnight, or for at least 1 hour. Add toppings before serving.

Notes

Refrigerated oats keep about 5 days and can be frozen. The spice blend (first six lines) works as a dry gift-jar mix.
