Notes
Topping ideas: Nut butter, yogurt, Gingerbread Granola, mini Gingerbread Cookies, fresh berries, or caramelized apples.
Storing: Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They may last for up to 5 days but in general, I like to eat any overnight oats within 3 days because as their texture degrades, they sit, this is especially true if you add fruit. The oats get softer and softer, and they won’t taste as fresh past the 3 day mark.
