Notes

In case you don't prefer to eat overnight oats cold, allow the oats jar to stay on the counter for 10-15 minutes after taking it out of the fridge.

Adding an adequate amount of milk will help achieve a porridge-like texture. The milk may seem like too much, but the oats will absorb it and be perfect in the morning.

Ensure that the bowl can accommodate the oats as they absorb the liquid and double in size.
