Notes
Don't be tempted to use packets of quick oats here. Quick oats are too broken up and you'll end up with a really mushy consistency.
Overnight oats store really well in the fridge for a few days so I rarely just make one serving. This recipe is easily doubled up so a great make ahead breakfast.
For a grab and go breakfast, make the oats in a jar with a lid, then all you need to do is grab from the fridge on your way out.
