Instructions
- You will need a glass jar with a lid for each serving you want to prepare. Start by adding a 1/2 cup of oats, 3/4 cup milk, 1 tablespoon of flax seeds (or chia seeds), 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and a pinch of salt to each jar. Make as many jars as you'd like to have on hand for the next 4 to 5 days.
- Pick from one of the flavors above, and add the additional ingredients to your jar. For example, to make a Peanut Butter Chocolate flavor, add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of cacao powder to a jar with the base ingredients. Stir well, and adjust any flavoring to taste. You can mix & match the flavors for each jar you make.
- Cover the jars with an airtight lid and place them in the fridge to soak overnight, or for at least 2 hours. The oats will absorb the liquid, and become soft and tender as they soak.
- When you're ready to eat the overnight oats, grab a jar from the lid, remove the lid, and stir well. It's ready to eat right away, but you can also add more liquid to loosen the texture, if you'd like to, or you can adjust the flavoring, as needed, by adding an extra splash of maple syrup, or another pinch of salt.
- Overnight oats can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1 jar with the "Very Berry" toppings. This information is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate not a guarantee. Each flavor combination will vary, so be sure to check your package labels for the most accurate information.
- I used store-bought jam when testing this recipe, but I prefer using homemade chia seed jam when I have it on hand. Alternatively, you can add a 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of frozen raspberries to the PB&J flavor instead of using jam, to avoid extra added sugar.
