Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom

- If using, fold in the plain yogurt for added creaminess.

Notes
- For a tropical twist, add shredded coconut or a sprinkle of nutmeg.
