A creamy, wholesome breakfast featuring sweet persimmon, juicy pomegranate, and nutrient-rich chia seeds for a vibrant start to your day.

I first made these overnight oats to brighten winter mornings, and the colorful toppings made breakfast feel special and nourishing.

Combine ingredients:: In a medium bowl or jar, combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Refrigerate overnight:: Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, allowing oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken.
Adjust consistency:: In the morning, stir mixture and add splash more milk if desired for creamier consistency.
Add toppings:: Divide oats between two bowls or jars. Top with sliced persimmon, pomegranate seeds, and nuts if using.
Finish and serve:: Drizzle with additional maple syrup or honey if desired. Serve chilled.

This recipe became a favorite weekend breakfast, and my family now looks forward to decorating their bowls with colorful toppings together.
