Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (almond, oat, coconut, or dairy milk)
  • 4 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup pecans, toasted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prep your jars: Grab two mason jars or containers with lids. Make sure they’re clean and dry.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: Add Β½ cup (50g) rolled oats, 1 tablespoon (15g) chia seeds, 2 tablespoons (14g) dried cranberries, a pinch of cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg into each jar.
  3. Add the zest: Using a microplane, grate about Β½ teaspoon of orange zest into each jar.
  4. Pour in the liquid: Add Β½ cup (120ml) of your chosen milk to each jar. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
  5. Sweeten it up: Drizzle 1 tablespoon (15ml) of maple syrup into each jar. Stir again to distribute evenly.
  6. Seal and refrigerate: Cover the jars with lids and place them in the fridge. Let them chill overnight (or at least 6 hours).
  7. Top and serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir, add a handful of toasted pecans, and enjoy! Optionally, sprinkle a little extra orange zest on top for a vibrant finish.

Notes

[‘Toast pecans in a dry skillet for extra flavor and crunch.’, ‘Use fresh orange zest for a brighter flavor.’, ‘Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup or using unsweetened dried cranberries.’, ‘Chill oats for at least 6 hours for maximum creaminess.’, ‘Layer ingredients for even flavor distribution.’]
