Notes
To make it vegan, you can use coconut milk, soy milk, or almond milk instead of regular milk. Opt for vegan yogurts like coconut yogurt, or soy yogurt along with a dairy-free milk option. Instead of honey, use maple syrup.Ideally, 7-8 hours of soaking is best but if you are in a rush, you can soak the oats for 3-4 hours minimum. They will be a little liquidy and not as soft as overnight oats but they’ll still be delicious.Make these in a large bowl and scoop out in individual bowls later or to save time, you can make them in individual portion in mason jars. Just grab one jar and you have a healthy and nourishing breakfast on the go.
