Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a jar or container, combine the rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, and your chosen sweetener; mix well to ensure everything is thoroughly combined.
  2. Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken.
Serving
  1. In the morning, stir the overnight oats; if it's too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  2. Add your desired toppings like fresh berries, banana, nuts, or nut butter, and serve chilled.

Notes

For best results, use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than instant oats. The consistency can be adjusted by adding more or less liquid. Feel free to experiment with different sweeteners and toppings to suit your taste preferences.
