Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Gather Ingredients
  2. Start by gathering all your ingredients and tools. This will make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
  3. Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, pinch of spice, pinch of cardamom, chia seeds, and sea salt. Whisk them together to ensure even distribution.
  5. Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
  6. In a separate bowl, mix the full-fat coconut milk (or your preferred non-dairy milk) with the vanilla bean scrapings and maple syrup. Stir well to combine.
  7. Step 4: Combine and Stir
  8. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until the oats are fully coated and everything is well combined.
  9. Step 5: Portion and Refrigerate
  10. Divide the mixture into your mason jars or airtight containers. Seal them tightly and place them in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours.
  11. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
  12. In the morning, give your oats a good stir. You can add more coconut milk or a splash of water if desired for a creamier texture. Drizzle with additional maple syrup if you like it sweeter, and enjoy your Vanilla Chai Overnight Oats!
