Notes

Storing these vegan overnight oats:to store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You may want to add an extra splash of milk when serving if too much milk is absorbed and the oatmeal is too thick.
If you need to make this nut free,opt for a dairy free milk option that does not contain nuts. Then omit the almond butter. You can substitute a seed butter if preferred. But the recipe will be great still without nut butter.
