Notes
Preparation Time: Assemble your oats the night before to allow ample time for the flavors to meld and the oats to soften. This makes for a quick and easy breakfast in the morning.
Oat Choices: Old-fashioned oats provide a hearty texture. If you prefer a creamier consistency, you can use quick oats.
Sweetness Level: Adjust the maple syrup to suit your taste. You can start with less and add more if needed.
Consistency Tip: If the oats are too thick upon serving, stir in a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Added Protein Boost: To increase the grams of protein you can add vanilla protein powder, plant-based protein powder, cottage cheese, or plain greek yogurt.
