- Refrigerate Overnight:
- Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve:
- In the morning, give the oats a stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Top with dark chocolate chips, fresh berries, or other toppings of your choice.
