Servings: 1
Ingredients
Basic Overnight Oats Base Recipe:
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup milk (adjust to desired thickness ½-1 cup of you choice of milk, I like oat milk)
My Favorite Add-Ins

- 1 tablespoon natural runny peanut butter
Apple Pie Oats Add-Ins:

- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, make sure to use at least ¾ cup milk, chia seeds absorb liquid)
Vanilla Overnight Oats Add-Ins:
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (can use vanilla bean or vanilla bean paste but they are more concentrated so use less)
