Additional tips
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the sweetness by adding a bit of honey, agave syrup, or more maple syrup in the morning if desired.
- Add Crunch: Top with nuts, like almonds or pecans, for added texture and extra protein.
- Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg to the oats mixture for a warm, spiced flavor.
- Meal Prep: Prepare multiple jars at once for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
- Temperature Preference: If you prefer warm oats, microwave the mixture for 30-60 seconds before serving.
