Notes
helpful tips
- This recipe is meant to be not super sticky and doughy like some overnight oats - these are more traditional oatmeal consistency. That being said, if you want it thicker, reduce the almond milk by half.
- Adjust the sweetness as desired but simply adding a little more or less maple syrup.
