Eggless Breakfast 5: Chia Seed "Oatmeal"

Chia Seed "Oatmeal" 

makes about 3 servings

prep time: 5 minutes

cook time: 20 minutes

WHAT YOU NEED

Oatmeal

• 4 tbs chia seeds
• 4 tbs ground flax seeds/flaxseed meal
• 2 tbs almond meal (optional, I enjoy the texture of it) 
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/2-1 cup water, depending on how thick you want it
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of sea salt

Add-ons

• fruit (try bananas, blueberries, apples, strawberries, or peaches) 
• nuts or nut butter (I used homemade almond butter in the photo)  

WHAT TO DO

1. In a small saucepan, combine seeds, coconut milk, water, vanilla, spices, salt and whisk until well combined.
2. For cool oatmeal: Allow to set in the refrigerator, covered, overnight. For hot oatmeal: allow to set in the refrigerator, covered, overnight. Then, cook on low heat, covered, for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.*
3. Top with desired add-ons and enjoy!

*If you don't enjoy the texture of the oatmeal, blend it until smooth before serving! Another option is to play with the coconut milk:water ratio to make the oatmeal thicker or thinner as desired. Have FUN!
