Add all ingredients to a glass jar, bowl or container that will hold at least 12 and up to 16 ounces (this allows space for the oats and any toppings you add later). Stir everything together. Add toppings you know will store well now. (Be careful with certain fruits that don't keep well cut, like banana).
½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup plant-based milk, 2 tablespoons plant-based yogurt, 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed, 2 teaspoons maple syrup
Place a lid or cover on the container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
Add optional fresh fruit topping. Eat cold or microwave for 30-60 seconds to warm up. Prepared overnight oats will stay good stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
