  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (cashew, almond, macadamia, etc.)
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon or nutmeg

Notes

Overnight oats can be prepared up to 2-3 days in advance.
I eat my overnight oats cold but you can warm them on the stovetop or in the microwave if you prefer.
Use this recipe as your base and then change up your toppings and add ins for endless variety.
