Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats (or quick oats for a softer texture)

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the almond milk to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Add the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and creamy.
