You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients in a jar or airtight container.
½ cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 cup plain, unsweetened kefir, 1-2 tablespoon maple syrup, tiny pinch of salt (optional)
Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined. Let sit for 10 minutes, then stir again.
Seal the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
In the morning, give the oats a good stir. You might notice a thicker, pudding-like consistency- feel free to add more kefir or milk of choice for a thinner consistency.
Top your oats with your favorite toppings (I love fresh berries, nuts and a little honey)

Notes

Consistency: If the oats are too thick for your liking the next morning, simply add a splash of kefir or milk of your choice.
Storage: They will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Topping ideas: My favorite toppings are fresh fruits such as, my breakfast fruit salad, nuts, this homemade caramel sauce, roasted almond butter, peanut butter or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Gluten-free: opt for certified gluten-free oats to make this a gluten-free recipe.
