Notes
Seal the container well so the oats don't dry out while chilling.
Taste-test the oats. Once you've mixed the basic oats recipe, taste the oats to be sure they are sweet enough for you and if not, add a bit more sweetener.
Enhance the flavor by adding ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and ⅛ teaspoon of salt. If you like cinnamon, add ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon.
Overnight oats need to be chilled at least 2 hours, although they will be creamier chilled over night.
