Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 13.5 floz can of unsweetened coconut milk see notes if opting to use a different milk
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice omit if substituting coconut milk for a different option - see notes
  • 1/3 cup chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup hemp hearts
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl or storage container, mix together all your dry ingredients.
  • Give your can of coconut milk a good shake and open it. Give it a stir to smooth out any hard clumps if needed. (see notes if opting to use a different type of milk)
  • Add your coconut milk and the remaining ingredients to the dry mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Pour your mixture into a single storage container or six smaller containers and cover.
  • Place in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight.
  • To serve, remove from the fridge and give it a stir before adding your toppings. If the mixture is too thick, feel free to add a bit more milk to loosen it up. See notes below.
  • Enjoy with fruit, granola or any of your favourite toppings.

Notes

 
  • Canned coconut milk will give your completed oats a much thicker consistency than other kinds of milk. You can substitute canned coconut milk for 1 3/4 cups of any other type of milk. Just be sure to omit the additional 3/4 cup of different milk indicated in the ingredients section.
  • The consistency of your completed oats will depend on the type of milk you use. If you prefer a more hydrated consistency, stir in more milk (roughly 1/4 cup at a time) to loosen them up, after it's already had time to absorb overnight. There's no need to wait for your oats to sit overnight again after adding more milk.
