Instructions
For the Base Oats:
- In a large glass jar or container with a lid, combine the oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, and salt. Stir to combine.
- To make flavored oats, add any of the suggested flavor combination ingredients or add your own mix-ins as desired and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 5 days.
- When ready to eat, stir the oats again and thin with more milk, if needed. Add any additional toppings or flavorings as desired.
Notes
- If your oats have thickened up more than you prefer, stir in some extra milk to thin the consistency. This can happen if you used thicker or drier mix-ins, or if your oats have been chilling for a few days.
- The nutrition information is for the base oats only, without mix-ins.
