Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or milk of your choice)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped pecans (plus extra for topping)

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)

Fresh fruit (such as sliced bananas or berries, for serving)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the oats are well-coated.

    Fold in the chopped pecans and dried cranberries (if using) into the oat mixture.

      Divide the mixture evenly into two or four jars or containers with lids, depending on your desired serving size. Make sure to leave some space at the top for expansion.

        Seal the jars or containers and refrigerate them overnight (or for at least 4-6 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.

          The next morning, give the oats a good stir. If they'd thickened too much, you can add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.

            Top your overnight oats with fresh fruit, additional pecans, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

              Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Maple Pecan Overnight Oats straight from the jar or in a bowl!
