Like most overnight oats, this process is quick and painless. Simply mix the ingredients in a medium sized bowl until they look thoroughly mixed together. Be sure to cover the bowl properly before storing so that it doesn’t end up absorbing the other flavors from nearby foods.
You can then put the mixture in the refrigerator or icebox to cool for a night, then scoop some into a cup and top with some extra cinnamon to enjoy the next day for breakfast.
