Notes

For Pumpkin Overnight Oats 
  1. Add all of the ingredients except the garnishes to a bowl with a lid.
  2. I do this in large batches, so I have enough to last several days. 
  3. Whisk the ingredients until well combined.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight. 
  5. The next morning, stir well and adjust the sweetness and consistency as needed. 
  6. Divide the mixture between your desired containers, and garnish as desired.
