Notes

Plant-based or dairy yogurt and milk can be used. Nutritional information is an estimate and has been calculated using full-fat Greek yogurt and almond milk.
Use whole rolled oats (also called old-fashioned oats). Avoid quick cooking and steel cut oats.
Storage: Store the oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They'll keep for about 5 days.
Freezing: Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Let thaw in the refrigerator overnight before consuming.
