Overnight oatmeal with chia seeds.

Recently I have been on Pinterest, and i kept seeing this overnight oatmeal with chia seeds. it is said to be healthy and a very good breakfast treat. so i decided to try it. 

i got this post straight from Pinterest, and it is linked to this blog that Oven Feeling. Which this blog has a lot of amazing recipes. ones i might have to try myself. 
this is the original recipe from the website. Unfortunately i did not have all the ingredients i used what i had. 
Chia seeds i got from my sister-in-law. 
I did not have plain oatmeal, but it works out because i did not have dried fruits, this is my replacment. to me it worked out well.  i also added a dash of coconut milk. But i used a generic brand and it did not have a strong coconut milk flavor.
so here are a few pictures of my run. left is before, and the right picture is the next morning. I did not realize how thick the consistency was gonna be, on the Pinterest post said to add milk to lessen the thickness. I also forgot to add honey, but it was not too bad without it, just a tad bit bland but i think that maybe the extra flavor from my oatmeal helped. I must say that the oatmeal actually held me over till late afternoon so i really enjoy this breakfast, because i can snack all day unless i have something to hold me over. try it out let me know how you like it. I am gonna try different variations of this oatmeal.
