This will depend on how big your holding container is and how much you want to make. Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge in a airtight container (I really recommend mason jars, especially for things like these.<\/strong><\/p>In addition, if you want to make a lot I would use one full can of coconut milk. If you want to try it before you make a large batch, I would use have the coconut milk can.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>The best texture is with using quick oats since they will be able to soften overnight. Steel cut oats will give you a dryer texture.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>You can save your other half of coconut milk for the chia seed pudding in the snack recipes!<\/strong><\/p>The sweetness will also depend on your preference.

In a small bowl, pour in chia seeds. Add water and let chia seed mixture become a gel. You will add this in to your oats later so keep this mixture on the side.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>In a mixing bowl, pour out coconut milk. Whisk the milk until the chunks are broken up. You want to make sure it is in a creamy whipped state.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>After whipping coconut milk, add in oats and mix well into the coconut milk. You can more oats for a thicker texture. Add less if you want a more loose oatmeal.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>After combining oats and coconut milk well, add the rest of the ingredients. Keep mixing well to combine. Even distribution of ingredients throughout entire bowl. This will avoid certain parts of your oatmeal having different flavors.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>Pour mixture into a mason jar or an airtight container and let sit overnight.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>When ready to enjoy, top with fresh fruit and nuts of your choice.
