Notes
- You can substitute plain yogurt with Greek yogurt for added protein and creaminess.
- Use non-dairy milk like almond, soy, or oat milk to make this recipe vegan (ensure the yogurt is also plant-based).
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar or using natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
- Adding chia seeds during soaking can enhance texture and nutritional value.
