Notes
You can store overnight oats in the fridge up to 5 days. Use plant-based milk/yogurt and maple syrup to make it vegan; use certified gluten-free oats to make it gluten-free.
Quick oats or steel-cut oats are not recommended plain old-fashioned rolled oats give the best texture. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
