Steps

1. Grab two jars or bowls and divide the oats and chia seeds evenly between them.
2. Pour the milk over the top, then add the maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Stir each one well so no dry oats stay stuck at the bottom.
3. Press the oats down so the liquid covers them. Cap with a lid or cover with plastic wrap.
4. Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight, so the oats soften and the chia thickens everything up.
5. In the morning, give it a stir. If it feels too thick, loosen it with a splash more milk.
6. Top with the berries and eat cold, straight from the jar.
