Blend plums: Add sliced plums, plant-based milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a high powered blender and blend until smooth (alternatively, you can also add all ingredients to a bowl and use a handheld immersion blender).
½ cup plums, ½ cup plant-based milk, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix overnight oat ingredients: Add rolled oats and chia seeds to a small jar. Pour the blended plums mixture over the oats, then close the jar with a lid and shake well to mix the ingredients. If you don’t have a jar, you can alternatively mix the ingredients in a bowl and then add to a small glass.
½ cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Chill overnight: Close the lid on your jar and place it in the refrigerator at least 4 hours, but for best results 8+ hours. A great time to make overnight oats in right before bed to enjoy them in the morning.
Garnish and serve: Remove the jar or glass from the refrigerator, top with garnishes (optional), and enjoy.
Optional garnishes: cut plums, granola, nuts or seeds
Prep ahead: Overnight oats are made to prep at least 8 hours ahead. Make a batch up to 3-4 days ahead of serving.
Leftovers and storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container (the jar you made it in) in the refrigerator for 2-3 days (3-4 days total storing time, depending on how far ahead you prepared the oats). Do not freeze.
