Notes
Notes:
- Add 1 to 3 tablespoons of maple syrup if you want a sweeter overnight oats.
- Adding vitamin C to this recipe in the form of berries or citrus fruit increases the absorption of iron from the oats.
- Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
- Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats if you cannot tolerate gluten.
- These oats will keep in the fridge, covered, for up to 4 days.
