Notes

  • The additional toppings that go well with overnight oats include:
    - Fruits, like chopped banana, apple, mango, strawberries, blueberries etc.
    - Nuts, for example hazelnuts or brazil nuts
    - Nut butters, seeds, flaxseed powder, dried cranberries, raisins etc.
  • A 12 ounce (12 oz) wide mouthed glass jar works great for one serving of overnight oats, especially if you want to eat right out of jar in the morning. It is enough to hold the overnight oats, and also has space for some additional toppings.
