Part 3/9:
For meal prepping larger quantities, Kayla suggests combining 2.5 cups of oats, 2.5 cups of milk, and five tablespoons each of chia seeds and maple syrup in a large bowl. This batch yields around five servings, suitable for a week's worth of quick breakfasts. The beauty of batch cooking is that it stays fresh in the fridge for up to a week when stored without added fruit, making mornings effortless.
Texture and Variations
Once prepared, overnight oats can be customized easily. If the mixture thickens too much, a splash of milk can loosen it up. Toppings such as fruits, nuts, and seeds add flavor, texture, and extra nutrients, creating endless flavor possibilities.
