How to make it

1. Grab a mason jar or other sealable container for your breakfast.
2. Pour the oats into the container and cover with milk. I usually mix oats and milk in a 1:3 ratio - I like my oats juicy.
3. For creamier oats, use yogurt or a 1:2 ratio instead.
4. Add liquid sweetener, ideally date syrup or homemade jam.
5. For chocolate oatmeal, stir in cinnamon or cocoa.
6. Sprinkle ground flaxseed on top of the oats.
7. I always add grated apple on top for extra juiciness and sweetness. Frozen or fresh berries work beautifully too, along with some goji berries or other dried fruit or nuts.
8. For an extra special touch, blend the berries and mix them with chia seeds to create homemade chia pudding for the top layer.
9. Close the container and store in the refrigerator overnight.
10. In the morning, your vegan overnight oats will be ready. The oats will have softened and the flavors will have melded together perfectly.
