Basic Overnight Oats Recipe

To make basic overnight oats, you'll need rolled oats, your choice of milk (dairy or plant-based), and a sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Simply mix these ingredients together in a jar or container, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften overnight, creating a creamy and delicious texture in the morning. You can also add in toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, and seeds for added flavor and nutrition.
