- 1-2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
Instructions

- Add oats and gently stir. Lightly press down with a spoon to make sure they are all fully submerged in the liquid.

- Enjoy as is or top with banana, berries, granola, nut butters, etc. before serving.
Notes
Plant milk: I use unsweetened plain almond milk for this recipe. Adjust the syrup as desired depending on how much sweetness you like (or if you’re using a sweetened milk). You may find you need a little less vanilla if you’re using a vanilla flavored milk.
Almond extract: It is very strong so be sure to only use the 1/8 tsp. otherwise it can overpower.
