Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 4 cups almond milk

- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and chia seeds, stirring to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Pour almond milk into the oat and chia seed mixture, whisking thoroughly to prevent any dry clumps from forming.
- Add honey or maple syrup to the mixture, stirring until the sweetener is completely incorporated and evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap to prevent moisture loss and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- After chilling, remove the oats from the refrigerator and give them a gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients.

- Top each serving with a variety of fresh fruits like berries, sliced bananas, or chopped apples.
- Sprinkle nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans over the topped oats for additional texture and nutrition.

Tips
- Use high-quality rolled oats for the best texture and absorption.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like coconut or oat milk for unique flavor profiles.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the mixture.
- Prep your toppings in advance to make morning assembly even quicker.
- Use airtight containers or mason jars to prevent moisture loss and maintain freshness.
- For a creamier consistency, let the oats sit for a full 12 hours if possible.
- Don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings – mix and match fruits, nuts, and seeds.
- If you prefer a warmer breakfast, you can briefly microwave the oats before adding toppings.
- Always stir the oats before serving to redistribute ingredients and achieve the perfect consistency.
- Store prepared overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for quick, grab-and-go breakfasts.
