This no-cook breakfast pudding is the ultimate time-saving morning meal, prepared in advance to allow the textures to develop while it chills. By soaking rolled oats and chia seeds in creamy oat milk, you create a thick, satisfying base that is naturally high in filling fiber and plant-based protein. The frozen strawberries soften as they thaw, releasing their natural juices into the mixture, which is sweetened with a touch of maple syrup and fragrant vanilla. It’s a cooling, nutrient-dense option that provides sustained energy throughout the morning.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
  • 4 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3 cups unsweetened oat milk
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries, slightly chopped if whole
  • 3 tbsp real maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • Fresh strawberries or other assorted berries, for garnish (optional)

Equipment Needed

  • Large mixing bowl or 4 individual mason jars 
  • Silicone spatula or large spoon 
  • Measuring cups and spoons 

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and chia seeds.
  2. Add the oat milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping together.
  3. Fold in the frozen strawberries. If the strawberries are very large, roughly chop them before adding so they integrate better into the pudding.
  4. If you prefer individual portions, divide the mixture evenly among four mason jars or airtight containers. Otherwise, leave the mixture in the large bowl and cover tightly.
  5. Place the pudding in the refrigerator to soak for at least 4 hours. For the creamiest results, leaving it overnight for up to 8 hours is recommended.
  6. Before serving, give the pudding a thorough stir to redistribute the berries and chia seeds.
  7. If the mixture has become too thick after soaking, add a small splash of oat milk to reach your desired consistency.
  8. Serve cold directly from the refrigerator, topped with fresh strawberries or other berries for garnish if desired.
