STEPS: (prep both chia seed pudding and overnight oats the day/evening before. The following day you can build your parfait. The parfait, without toppings, will last 12-24 hours in your refrigerator).
1. Chia Seed Pudding
In a small bowl or mason jar with a lid, add the chia seeds, milk and maple syrup. Mix well. Allow to sit for about 3 minutes. Mix again until you don’t see any clumps. Cover with a lid and refrigerate overnight.
2. Overnight Oats
In a small bowl or mason jar with a lid, add the milk, maple syrup and rolled oats. Stir together, pressing down to make sure the oats are immersed in the milk. Cover with a lid and refrigerate overnight.
3. Layers and Toppings
Divide the overnight oats into two bowls or jars. Add 1-2 tablespoons of nut butter over top of the oats. Next, divide the chia seed pudding and spoon over the nut butter. Add 1-2 tablespoons of preserves over top. From here you can add any additional toppings like fresh fruit, chopped nuts or seeds. All toppings should be added when ready to eat.
