Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
-
- Layer ingredients in jar in the order they are listed in recipe- You want to add your oats first, then the rest of dry ingredients, followed by wet ingredients finishing with your milk. This will allow your ingredients to sit better in your jar as you layer them. Making it a lot easier to shake and mix them together.
- Use a mason jar or airtight container to make your overnight oats in- This will keep them fresh as they are refrigerated overnight.
- Substitute for maple syrup- Use honey.
- Use any milk you prefer- You can use any plant-based or dairy milk you desire.
- No chocolate protein powder or collagen peptides- Just add another table spoon of cocoa powder. Add a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt for the added protein and creaminess.
