Step-by-Step Instructions for Classic Overnight Oats

In a large mixing bowl or mason jar, pour in the rolled oats and your choice of milk or milk alternative. Stir in chia seeds and your preferred sweetener.
Using a spoon or a small whisk, mix the ingredients vigorously until there are no dry oats or clumps of chia seeds. Adjust consistency with more milk if needed.
Cover the bowl or mason jar tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, preferably overnight.
Once your Classic Overnight Oats have set, give them a hearty stir to redistribute any settled ingredients.
Top your oatmeal with a variety of your favorite fruits, nuts, or seeds.
Enjoy your Classic Overnight Oats straight from the jar or transferred to a bowl.
