Notes
Use only plain rolled oats without added artificial flavors, colors, or sugar.
This recipe makes one serving, you can increase the ingredient quantities to make a large batch.
Omit the lemon zest if your lemon peel has a bitter taste.
Since the mixture is not too sweet, feel free to add an additional tablespoon of maple syrup or another sweetener of choice to make it suit your taste.
The best way to make the overnight oats is to let them soak overnight but if you are short on time you can soak them for at least 2 hours.
