Notes
Sweeten these overnight oats with your preferred sweetener and use the maple syrup as a guide. Everyone has a different preferred level of sweet.
I had 2 tsp of shredded coconut in this recipe for a long time, feel free to add it, but it is not everyone’s favorite so moved it to the notes as an option!
