Notes

For a truly decadent version, try topping your oats with caramelized pears. Simply sauté diced pears with a bit of butter and cinnamon until golden and soft.
These overnight oats will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prep. If the mixture thickens too much during storage, simply add a splash more milk before serving.
Feel free to customize with other add-ins like a spoonful of almond butter for extra protein and creaminess, or substitute apples for pears when needed.
