Combine all ingredients in a bowl except toppings and stir together. If you're using Greek yogurt or protein powder, add that in now.
Cover and place in the fridge overnight. If you’re in a rush you can shorten the soak time to 2-4 hours.
The next morning (or when ready to eat), remove lid and give oats a big stir. If they seem too thick you can add a little more milk to loosen the mixture. Add any toppings you’d like and enjoy! For this version I added pecans, coconut whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes
Maple syrup: Honey or another natural liquid sweetener will work here as well. If you want to reduce the sugar in this recipe, feel free to use a sugar alternative like stevia or monk fruit.
