Notes/Tips:

• I use unsweetned flax and chia seed milk. You can use any milk you want.

• If you want, swap maple syrup with honey.

• Don’t use steel-cut oats, it doesn't soak well.

• You can make these and keep them in the fridge for 4-5 days.

• I recommend mixing it a little before eating so that all the flavors mix well.

• I used 18 oz containers to set them in. I recommend anything from 12 oz to 18 oz containers to set them in.
