To Enjoy:

When ready to enjoy, stir, add a splash of milk if desired and top with diced apples, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Share simply with bananas or jam. Or, give my stewed apples or blueberry compote a try (they're make ahead ready too!).

Notes

*If a looser overnight oats set is desired, add a splash or two more of milk.

For Two or More Servings: Simply scale up the number of servings you'd like from the single recipe and portion into individual storage containers.

While overnight oats are fabulous enjoyed chilled, you can also warm them. Pop em' in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds to take the chill off.
