Notes
Oat Selection: Opt for rolled oats as they provide a chewy texture ideal for overnight oats. Avoid quick oats, which can become too soft.
Milk Choices: Both dairy and non-dairy milks work well. Almond milk adds a nutty flavor, while whole milk offers extra creaminess.
Sweeteners: Adjust the sweetness to your preference by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
Storage: These overnight oats can be refrigerated for up to 4 days, making them excellent for meal prep.
