Notes
*Enjoy as-is or add more toppings! See a list of ideas in the post above.
- The listed ingredients make an individual serving in an 8-ounce mason jar. To make several servings, I recommend scooping the ingredients into each jar, rather than making it in a big bowl and portioning it out.
- This liquid ratio gives you nice thick, soft oats. If you prefer your oats thinner, add more milk while preparing the oats or right before serving.
- If you want to add a lot of toppings to your oats, you may want to use a 16-ounce jar to allow for more space.
- Adding nuts when preparing the jars will give you soft, slightly chewy nuts. If you prefer crunchy nuts, add them right before serving.
- You can make these overnight oats higher in protein by stirring a scoop of protein powder into the mixture.
- In the fall, try adding pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice for a yummy fall overnight oats recipe!
