⅓cupfresh strawberries, halved+ more for decortion

1tablespoonchia seeds
1-2tablespoonmaple syrup
1tablespoonraw pumpkin seeds
1small bananasliced
Instructions
To begin, in a jar or airtight container, simply combine old-fashioned rolled / quick oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, halved strawberries, maple syrup, and cashew milk (or your favorite non-dairy milk like almond milk or oat milk). Mix it up, seal the container and let it seat overnight in the fridge.
In the morning, slice one banana and 4-5 fresh strawberries, decorate your oatmeal, and enjoy it cold straight from the fridge. Also, if you prefer it warm, you can heat it in the microwave before adding the fruit. I find this ratio of milk and oats to yield the perfect consistency but you can add more milk if you like. Your healthy breakfast is ready to enjoy!
Notes
If you like your overnight oats to be soupier, add more milk in the morning.
Also, if you prefer it warm, you can heat it in the microwave before adding the topping of banana and strawberries.
Depending on your taste, add 2 tablespoon maple syrup, agave, or date syrup. I find it perfectly sweet just with 1 tablespoon of it.
It is best for the oats to soak overnight, but you can make them for 2-3 hours if you are in the rush. They'll still be delish!
