1/2 Cup Your Choice of Milk (I use almond milk)

Ingredients List:

*Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (not Quick Cooking Oats, they get mushy)
*Milk of Choice (I use almond milk, it doesn't overpower the other flavor profiles, cashew milk is great too)
*Plain Greek yogurt (dairy free if needed) I don't recommend the flavored kinds because they contain a ton of sugar
*Pure Maple syrup (honey is good too)
*Chia Seeds
*Nut Butter of your choice (totally optional but recommended)
---------------
Tools Needed for Overnight Oats:
---------------
*16oz Glass jar or container with a tight fitting lid, such as a mason jar.
*Spoons for nut butter and stirring

*1/4 Cup measuring cup

Topped with more fresh berries and nuts! Below is my Standard Overnight Oats Recipe: Just add your favorite fruit, nuts, coconut or whatever suites your fancy!

Standard Overnight Oats Recipe:

1/2 Cup Old fashioned Oats
1/4 Cup Greek Yogurt (dairy free yogurt if vegan)
1/2 Cup Your Choice of Milk (I use almond milk)

Triple Berry Compote Recipe:

4 Cups Fresh OR Frozen Mixed Berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
1 Cup Sugar (optional, depends on how sweet you like it or your dietary needs)
1/4 Cup Chia Seeds
Pinch of Salt
1/2 TSP of Pure Vanilla Extract (optional)

*Place berries in a medium to large sauce pan.

*Bring heat to a medium to medium low and allow berries to start break down and make their own juice. Let berries simmer for 15-20 minutes or until berries resemble a chunky jam like consistency. You can add your sugar and the vanilla extract about halfway through or omit it all together.

*Turn off the heat and let cool for about 5-10 minutes and then add the chia seeds and stir well.
*Let cool completely and store in a glass container with lid for 1 week in the fridge or freeze for up to 60 days.
