Notes

Top tips

If you hate chia seeds because they can sometimes get stuck in your teeth, I recommend using chia protein (ground chia seeds) instead of chia seeds.
If you love the tang of yogurt, you can omit the maple syrup, but I really love the additional hint of sweetness the maple syrup provides. You can also use fruit to help sweeten the oats if you want to omit the maple syrup.
The oats get softer as they sit in the fridge overnight.
Change up the flavor by changing up the add in ingredients. You will never get bored of coming up with new flavor combination!
Make a few at a time to prep for the week. You can keep these overnight oats with yogurt in the fridge for up to 3 days.
