- 2 tablespoons brown sugar divided

Notes
Expert Tips:
- Store overnight oats in a jar with room to spare since the oatmeal and chia seeds expand as they rehydrate, and so will any mix-ins you add.
- It’s a matter of preference. I find a 1:1 ratio of one part old-fashioned oats and one part almond milk for the best result, but I add more if I include chia seeds since they absorb more liquid. Use less milk if you want thicker oatmeal and more if you like it runny.
- Despite the name overnight oats, they only need to soak for 2-3 hours before you can enjoy them. However, the longer you soak the oats, the softer they will become.
- Stir the oats before digging into them.
