  3. Transfer to Container: Pour the mixture into a jar or container with a lid, making it easy to store and grab on the go.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, including dairy or other plant-based milks.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts or replace them with seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup depending on your preference and dietary needs.
  • Adjust the amount of spices to your taste, adding more cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for convenience.
