1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Pour in 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or your milk of choice). Add 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, now is the time to add a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener, adjusting to your personal taste preference.

Stir the mixture very well to ensure all the oats and chia seeds are fully submerged in the milk and no clumps remain. Scrape the sides and bottom of the container to make sure everything is incorporated.
Securely close the lid of your container or jar. Place it in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
In the morning, give your Sugar-Free Overnight Oats a quick stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can add another splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with your favorite sugar-free toppings such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, seeds, or unsweetened shredded coconut.
