Notes
- If you're not a fan of thick oats, I'd recommend starting with a little extra milk when mixing. You can always add more in the morning too!
- Mason jars are my go-to containers for this recipe. They seal well, are easy to grab from the fridge, and make it feel a little fancy!
- Don't skip the salt! It might seem odd in a sweet recipe, but it really helps to bring all the flavors together.
- If you want to mix things up, try swapping the pecans for walnuts or topping with fresh applesauce or berries. Both work really well with the maple vanilla flavor!
