Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture, avoiding instant or quick oats.
Ensure thorough stirring to prevent chia seeds from clumping at the bottom.
Adjust the amount of milk based on your preferred consistency – more for thinner, less for thicker.
Overnight chilling is essential for the oats to fully soften and absorb the liquid.
Feel free to customize with your favorite fruits, nuts, or sweeteners.
