# Instructions:
01 -
Toss all the base ingredients into a mason jar or small container with a lid. Give it a good stir so the oats soak up the milk. Add more almond milk if it looks dry.
02 -
Choose the flavor combo you like and drop those ingredients into the jar.
03 -
Cover the container with the lid securely. Let it chill in the fridge overnight, 6 hours minimum, and it stays good for up to five days.
04 -
When you’re ready to eat, splash in more almond milk if you prefer. Add your favorite toppings, then dig in cold!
# Notes:
01 -
Rolled oats are the best pick here, but if you enjoy a softer texture, quick oats will do just fine.
02 -
Make sure there’s a layer of milk covering the oats before sticking them in the fridge.
03 -
Keep these oats in a sealed container in your fridge for up to five days—perfect for prepping ahead!
