Tips
- —
The chia seeds swell up like little jelly beads over time, thickening the oats.
- —
Add nuts or a dash of cinnamon for deeper flavor.
- —
Make it the night before so it's ready to grab on busy mornings.
Storage
Keeps refrigerated 2–3 days; it gets even softer and creamier after a day or two.
