In a small bowl or jar, combine oats, chia seeds, salt, honey, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1 tablespoon almonds, and almond extract if using. Stir until well mixed.
Taste the mixture and adjust flavors, adding more honey, almond extract, or milk to reach your preferred sweetness and consistency.
Transfer to a jar or container with a lid, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for the creamiest results).
When ready to serve, give the oats a stir and add a splash of almond milk if the mixture has thickened too much.
Top with the remaining almonds and any other favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of nut butter. Enjoy!
