In a mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats and chia seeds. Stir them together to ensure they are evenly mixed.
Pour in the almond milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and maple syrup. Stir the mixture well until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the liquid.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired. Remember, the oats will soak up the liquid overnight, so a slightly sweeter base will complement the final flavor perfectly.
Spoon the mixture into a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. Make sure to leave a little room at the top as the oats will expand as they soak.
Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak overnight, allowing the chia seeds to swell and create a creamy texture.
In the morning, give your oats a good stir. You can enjoy them cold straight from the fridge or warm them up in the microwave for a minute or two. Top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or additional maple syrup, and dig in!
