Notes

Note 1 - Oats

I recommend rolled oats as they provide the best texture. Liquid quantities may vary if using different types of oats.

Note 2 - Chia Seeds

They are optional, but very highly recommended as they help provide a more "pudding" texture to the overnight oats.

Note 3 - Milk

You can use whatever milk for this. Nutritional information is based off cows milk.

Note 4 - Yogurt

I recommend yogurt to help bring out the creaminess of the oats. You can omit, but add in another ¼ cup of milk if you do.

Storing

Store in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. If thick when eating, add an extra dash of milk or water to loosen.

Reheating

You can reheat by adding an additional dash of milk/water, then adding to the microwave on 30 second bursts, stirring in between (it'll take approx. 2-3 minutes). It'll taste like stove top oats.
