The thickness of overnight oats can be adjusted by adding more or less milk. If the oats are too thick when you take them out of the refrigerator, feel free to add a little more milk!

There are many ways to sweeten overnight oats. Maple syrup is a great option! Honey, stevia, or raw sugar are also options for sweetening overnight oats.
