Helpful Tips
For added texture, consider topping your oats with chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts. If you prefer your oats sweeter, maple syrup is a great substitute for honey. To make this recipe vegan, use a plant-based yogurt. Overnight oats will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them a great option for meal prep.
