Notes

Add ins for Overnight Oats
Dried Fruit- Raisins, dried pineapple chunks or dried apricots can be added for more sweetness and a pop of fruit flavor.
Seeds- Seeds are delicious in oatmeal and add more fiber to the bowl. We like pumpkin seeds, but chia and flax are also good choices.
Nuts- Pecans give this bowl of oatmeal the crunch that so many people love. Add shredded coconut, chopped walnuts, roasted pistachios or use what you already have on hand.
