When oats are mixed with milk and left in the fridge overnight, they absorb the milk and become soft. As a result, no cooking is required and it can be eaten in the morning. If you prefer your oats to warm you can still heat them up in the microwave and don’t hesitate to add your favorite oat ingredients.
Some healthy toppings include Fruit (berries, apple chunks, bananas, pears, apricots, figs etc), seeds (pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds), sugar and palm oil-free nut butters (cashew butter, peanut butter and almond butter), yogurt (Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt), organic dark chocolate and much more.

Everybody makes their oats differently. Some prefer them with bite while others prefer them soft. If you like your oats with a bite then add just enough milk to cover the oats. If you prefer soft and creamy oats then add a couple inches more of milk.
Alternatives
For this recipe I used almond milk but feel free to use any other type of plant based milk. In addition, you can mix all of the ingredients together in the jar instead of layering them.
