🥘Ingredients
- Hemp seeds: Add a mild, nutty flavor and make the oats extra creamy while boosting plant-based protein.
- Rolled oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats give the best texture and hold up well overnight without turning mushy.
- Chia seeds: Help thicken the oats naturally and create that creamy, pudding-like texture.
- Maple syrup: Adds gentle, natural sweetness. Adjust to taste depending on how sweet you like your oats.
- Plant-based milk: I chose almond milk for a light and creamy base, but you can substitute it with any dairy-free milk like cashew, coconut, or oat milk.
As always, you can find the full recipe with a list of ingredients with measurements in a printable recipe card at the end of this post.

📋Variations
