# Directions:

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero cooking required means you're literally sleeping while breakfast prepares itself.
  • The texture is creamy without being heavy, and it stays fresh in the fridge for days so you can make it once and eat like royalty all week.
02 -
  • If your oats seem watery in the morning, resist the urge to panic—it means the chia seeds are doing their job and the oats are still absorbing liquid, so just stir it all together and it'll reach the right consistency.
  • The amount of liquid matters more than you'd think because thick oats feel like paste while thin ones are basically yogurt, so start with the recipe amount and adjust your next batch once you know what you prefer.
03 -
  • Prep your oats in the jar you'll eat from to save dishes and make mornings even smoother—there's real wisdom in removing friction from routines that matter.
  • If you're sharing these with someone picky about texture, a slightly longer soak makes everything more uniform and creamy, while a shorter rest keeps individual ingredients more distinct and interesting.
