Chef's Note
For the best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than quick oats or steel-cut oats. You can customize this recipe by using different nut combinations or seasonal fruits. For added protein, stir in a tablespoon of your favorite nut butter before serving. These overnight oats will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them perfect for busy weekday mornings.
