Oatmeal Chia Pudding

Wow!! This is really good!!! I dislike oatmeal, with a passion, I've said that before, I know. ;) But this, this is really yummy and super bummed I only got ONE bite!!! :/ I mixed this up last night for the kids and was just hoping they would like it, not knowing how it would turn out. But knew they like cold oatmeal so this isn't that different, just added some chia seeds to make it kinda it thick!

Chia pudding is pretty good by itself, but these added ingredients just make it that much better! :D Let me know if you try it, add anything and how you like it! :)

I mixed this up in the Pampered Chef batter bowl...


Oatmeal Chia Pudding

2 cups oats (not instant)
6-8 tablespoons chia seeds (my measurements were used by a soup spoon which is a tablespoon ;))
3 soup laddles of homemade yogurt (or 3 small containers of vanilla yogurt)
Vanilla almond milk (I used Aldis brand)

Put all ingredients in bowl except for milk and stir to combine... I didn't measure the milk but I added it up to the 6 cup line. (I have half a gallon container and I used half of it!)
Stir to combine, cover and place in frig overnight!
Serve with fresh fruit or frozen berries...


You could totally added some cinnamon, cocoa powder (make sure to add pure maple syrup or honey to sweeten it a bit), chocolate chips...

You can really add anything and everything to this! The kids literally gobbled this down and they all were asking for more after they had seconds!! :) will make a bigger batch next time!! I really want to make it again tomorrow but we have to be out of the house by 6 am to head to Children's Hospital in DC to get 2 of my kids hearing aides checked... Maybe Thursday...? ;)

(I cooked each kid an egg to go with...)

Let me know what you think and how you like it! Let me know if you added anything! :)
I didn't add any sugar to this! :)
