Notes

For Pumpkin Overnight Oats

Add all of the ingredients except the garnishes to a bowl with a lid.
I do this in large batches, so I have enough to last several days.
Whisk the ingredients well to combine them evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
The next morning, stir well and adjust the sweetness and consistency as needed.
Divide the mixture between your desired containers, and garnish as desired.
