Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats. Chia seeds help thicken the mixture and improve texture. Add berries fresh on top to keep their flavor and texture vibrant. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk. Store in fridge up to 3 days. For vegan version, swap milk and yogurt with plant-based alternatives and use maple syrup instead of honey.
