1–2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, milk, mixed berries, flaxseeds, chia seeds (if using), sweetener, vanilla extract (if using), and salt.
Mix Well: Stir all the ingredients together until everything is well combined. Make sure the oats are fully submerged in the milk.
Refrigerate: Seal the jar or container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
Stir and Serve: In the morning (or after at least 4 hours), give the overnight oats a good stir. If they seem too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Add Toppings (Optional): Get creative with toppings! Add extra fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of nuts, or a dollop of yogurt.
