Ingredients & Substitutions

Tips & Notes

  • Experiment with different fruits and toppings to find your favorite combination.
  • Use a mason jar for easy storage and portability.

Recipe Variations

  • Add a tablespoon of nut butter for extra creaminess and flavor.
  • Incorporate cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist.

Storage & Freezing

Store overnight oats in airtight containers in the refrigerator. They can last up to 3 days. If you plan to add toppings, consider keeping them separate until you're ready to eat to maintain freshness.
