Place the oats, chia seeds, salt, maple syrup (if using) and water in a small bowl
Cover and leave overnight (or at least an hour)
The next morning (or an hour later), warm the oats through gently on the hob until thickened and starting to gently bubble. I also microwave them if I'm in a hurry, for maybe 2 minutes maximum.
Stir through with nut butter if using.
Decant into your favourite cereal bowl and enjoy.
For extra luxury, I add a square of my favorite dairy-free chocolate to languidly melt on top
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
