Tips
- Make it seasonal with fall flavors by adding maple syrup, canned pumpkin, ground cinnamon, & roasted pecans on top!
- Frozen fruit can be transferred to the refrigerator the night before to make it perfectly soft to layer onto the oats before serving.
- Chia seeds can be added before placing in the refrigerator for a more pudding-like consistency. Greek yogurt can also be added for extra creaminess.
- Putting nut butters in before refrigerating will result in a very firm texture and is not recommended.
