Creamy Maple Brown Sugar Overnight Oats

Place the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
Divide the oat mixture evenly between 2 mason jars or airtight containers.
Cover the containers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the oats soften and thicken.
Stir the oats before serving.
If using the optional toppings, add 1 teaspoon maple syrup and 1 tablespoon chopped pecans to each serving.
Add a splash of almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Use Rolled Oats – Old fashioned rolled oats give you a creamy texture with a little chew. Quick oats will be much softer.

Adjust the Sweetness – These oats are already sweetened with maple syrup and brown sugar. Taste before adding the optional maple syrup topping.

Try Different Toppings – Sliced bananas, chopped walnuts, or fresh berries make great additions when you want to change your breakfast.

Adjust the Thickness – Overnight oats continue to absorb liquid as they sit. Stir in a little almond milk if they become too thick.

Keep Toppings Separate – Store chopped pecans separately until serving so they stay crunchy.

Storing

Refrigerator – Store overnight oats in covered mason jars or airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freezer – Freeze individual portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months. Leave room for expansion and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Before Serving – Stir the oats after storage to redistribute the liquid and restore their creamy texture.
