Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats gluten-free if needed
2 cups almond milk or milk of choice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped pecans toasted

Instructions

In four 8-ounce mason jars or containers, divide the oats and almond milk evenly (1/2 cup oats and 1/2 cup milk per jar). Stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla per jar.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
Pour one-quarter of the sweetener mixture into each jar. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Cover jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
Just before serving, toast chopped pecans at 325°F (160°C) for 5–7 minutes or until fragrant.
Sprinkle pecans over each jar just before eating. Add extra maple syrup or cinnamon if desired.

Notes

Add chia seeds for extra fiber and creaminess.
Substitute the pecans with walnuts, almonds, or pumpkin seeds.
For more protein, stir in yogurt or protein powder before chilling.
Make it extra decadent by topping with banana slices or a dollop of nut butter.
These oats last up to 5 days in the fridge.
