Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats old-fashioned oats work best for texture
  • 1 cup milk any kind: dairy, almond, soy, oat, etc.
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt
Optional toppings

  • chopped nuts

Equipment

  • Airtight container
  • Medium-sized jar
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized jar, bowl, or airtight container, add the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, packed light brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well combined. This ensures even distribution of the brown sugar and cinnamon throughout the oats.

  2. Pour in the milk, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together thoroughly until the brown sugar is mostly dissolved and all the oats are submerged in the liquid. Make sure there are no dry clumps of oats at the bottom.

  3. Secure the lid on your container or cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, creating that signature creamy, pudding-like texture.
  4. In the morning, give your Maple Brown Sugar Overnight Oats a good stir. If the consistency is too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more milk until it reaches your desired creaminess. Spoon the oats into a serving bowl and garnish with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, toasted nuts, a sprinkle of granola, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
