Tips for the Best Overnight Oats

Use Rolled Oats – Quick oats get too mushy, and steel-cut oats need more soaking time.
Go Dairy-Free – Use almond, oat, or coconut milk for a vegan version.
Make a Big Batch – These oats stay fresh for up to 4 days in the fridge!
Adjust Sweetness – Add more or less maple syrup depending on your preference.
