Ingredients

¾ cup rolled oats old-fashioned style
¾ cup plant-based milk of choice I used oat milk
1-2 tbsp maple syrup or other sweetener of choice
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of cinnamon
½-1 tbsp almond butter or ¼ cup of vegan yogurt optional, to add more creaminess

Instructions

In an airtight container, combine together the oats, milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, cinnamon and almond butter, if using. Then, cover and let it rest in the fridge overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
The next day, give the oats a good stir and add more milk if needed. Then, taste and adjust sweeteness.
To serve, you can layer with vegan yogurt or fruit jam (I used a strawberry rhubarb compote to make mine) and top with fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, granola, etc. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage tips: you can make a big batch and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days. The longer it rests, the thicker it becomes, so adjust with more milk as needed.
