- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
Instructions
- In a jar or container with a lid mix together the rolled oats, water, ground flaxseeds, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon if using.

- Let them soak for at least 2 hours for the oats to soften, but overnight is best.

Notes
See the blog post for options to make the oats creamy, flavor options, and toppings.
If you prefer a thinner consistency for your overnight oats then add a splash of water.
Cocoa powder, protein powder, and powdered peanut butter will thicken the oats. You may need to add more water to thin out. For protein powder, I have to add a lot more water.
Adjust the maple syrup to suit your preference for sweetness.
