Notes
- Pro tip: Do not substitute the rolled oats with quick oats as they will become mushy. If you'd like to sub with steel cut oats, see my post on overnight steel cut oats.
- I highly recommend chia seeds as they help thicken the oats and they provide a boost of fiber and nutrition. If you don’t have any on hand, decrease the amount of milk to 2 cups.
- The oats will be quite thick once they’ve absorbed the liquid. Add 1/4-1/2 cup more liquid to loosen them up before serving as desired.
- Store chai spiced overnight oats in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
