Maple Pecan Overnight Oats

DIRECTIONS

1. Add all ingredients to a small jar or bowl — you can use an empty peanut butter jar for the perfect on-the-go container. Just recycle the jar when you finish.

2. Stir all ingredients thoroughly. Make sure you cover the oats entirely with the milk, or they won’t soften correctly.

3. Put the oats in the refrigerator overnight. You can keep them there for up to 36 hours.

4. To serve, remove the oat mixture from the refrigerator and stir. Make sure the chia seeds haven’t clumped together.

5. If you prefer your oats hot, you can microwave the mixture for up to a minute or add it to a saucepan to heat up quickly. For a fun twist on your oats, choose different types of pecans to add. You can shop our nuts to find fun flavors.
