Ingredients
  

Basic Chia Oatmeal

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 tbsp maple syrup

Add-Ins for Peanut Butter Banana

  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1/2 medium banana mashed
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon + more to top

Add-Ins for Lemon & Mixed Berries

  • 3/4 – 1 cup frozen mixed berries thawed
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest

Add-Ins for Avocado Chocolate

  • 1/2 tbsp mashed avocado*
  • 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp vegan chocolate chips
  • *Avocado is optional if you don’t have any on hand, this is delicious just with the cocoa and chocolate chips as well!

Instructions
 

  • Bring water to a boil and add rolled oats. Decrease the heat to medium and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add chia seeds, stir and continue to simmer oatmeal until cooked.  You want to add the chia before the other mix-ins to give the seeds a chance to absorb some of the water.
  • Stir in maple syrup and other add-ins listed above for (1) Peanut Butter Banana, (2) Lemon & Mixed Berry or (3) Avocado Chocolate. For Lemon & Mixed Berry, you will need to continue to simmer for a few minutes as the berries will water down the oatmeal. For the Avocado Chocolate, stir in chocolate chips and cocoa powder first and heat until chocolate chips are melted, only add avocado once removed from heat.

Notes

Add extra water if water is absorbed and oatmeal is not at desired consistency
