Top tips

• The oats can last in the fridge for 1-2 days, so you could try prepping a batch in advance to have breakfast ready for a few days 

• Sometimes, the oats may become too thick after they have sat in the fridge overnight. To fix this, add a little bit of milk to loosen the oats until you reach your desired consistency 

• Feel free to experiment with different flavours and mix-ins! We have given lots of delicious suggestions but this recipe is a great one to get creative with.
