Ingredients
Scale
Seeds and Nuts
- 1/4 cup chia seeds, divided
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 6 tablespoons chopped raw walnuts
- 1/4 cup coconut flakes
Liquids and Flavoring
- 1.5 cups almond, coconut, or cashew milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grind seeds and nuts: In a blender or food processor, add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, flax seeds, and chopped walnuts. Pulse the mixture until finely ground to create the base for the oatmeal.
- Combine ingredients: In a large jar or container, mix the ground seed and nut mixture with the remaining chia seeds, coconut flakes, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. This soaking time allows the chia seeds and other ingredients to absorb the liquid and soften, developing the oatmeal’s creamy texture.
- Serve and garnish: When ready to eat, you can enjoy the paleo oatmeal cold straight from the fridge or gently warm it up if preferred. Add additional milk to adjust consistency as desired. Top with sliced bananas, honey, fresh fruit, cinnamon, or extra nuts and seeds according to your taste.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, ensure to finely grind the seeds and nuts in the blender or food processor.
