Steps:
- Coat the inside of a 4-5 quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
- Combine all the ingredients in the slow cooker and stir. I find it helpful to mix the brown sugar with the cinnamon; the cinnamon gets better incorporated and doesn't separate from the mix as much.
- Cook for 7-8 hours on low.
- Stir thoroughly before serving with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
- Serve immediately.
- Refrigerate leftovers; reheat with a splash of milk.
- *This recipe is easily cut in half for smaller slow-cookers. A time of 4 hours is optimal.

Tips:
- Use rolled oats, not instant oats. Rolled oats will give your overnight oats a chewier texture, while instant oats will make them more mushy.
- Choose your milk wisely. The type of milk you use will affect the flavor and consistency of your overnight oats. Whole milk will make them richer and creamier, while almond milk or oat milk will make them lighter and healthier.
- Add some sweetness. If you like your overnight oats sweet, you can add some honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar. You can also add some chopped fruit, such as bananas, berries, or apples.
- Get creative with your toppings. Overnight oats are a great way to use up leftover fruit, nuts, and seeds. You can also add some spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, for extra flavor.
- Let your overnight oats sit overnight. This will give the oats time to absorb the liquid and soften. However, if you're short on time, you can also make overnight oats in the morning and eat them right away.
Conclusion:
Overnight oats are a delicious and easy breakfast option that can be made ahead of time. They're perfect for busy mornings or when you're short on time. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of overnight oats that will keep you satisfied all week long.
