Notes
Consistency: If your overnight oats are too thick in the morning, simply add a splash of almond milk to loosen them up. If they’re too runny, add a bit more oats or chia seeds and let them sit for a few extra minutes to thicken.
Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, you can increase the maple syrup or add a drizzle of honey. For a lower-sugar option, reduce or omit the sweetener.
Meal Prep: This recipe is great for meal prep. You can easily double or triple the batch to have breakfast ready for several days. Store individual portions in jars or airtight containers for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Warm it Up: Although overnight oats are typically eaten cold, you can warm them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds if you prefer a warm breakfast. Add a splash of milk before heating to keep them creamy.
