Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (100 grams) rolled or old fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or 2 chopped Medjool dates)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 very small pinches fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 cup (360 mls) plant milk, not soy milk
- Zest of 1 medium lemon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 to 2 vegan graham crackers, or digestive biscuits (or similar cookies)
Optional
- 2 small dollops of vegan lemon curd
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Take 2 jars or other small lidded containers. To each one add ½ cup (50 grams) oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, a small pinch of salt, ¾ cup plant milk, zest of half a lemon, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Mix and Refrigerate: Stir the mixture really well to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Put the lid on tightly and refrigerate overnight or for up to 5 days, allowing the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Serve with Toppings: Before serving, crumble over the vegan graham crackers or digestive biscuits and add a dollop of optional vegan lemon curd. Serve directly in the container for convenience and minimal cleanup.

- Perfect for on-the-go breakfasts or a simple nutritious meal at home.
- Use plant milk of your choice except soy for best flavor and texture.
- Optional lemon curd adds extra tangy sweetness but can be omitted for a lighter version.
