Notes

Storage tips
For the week.
You can prepare 3-5 jars of overnight oats and store them in the refrigerator for the week. Remember that the longer the oatmeal sits in the fridge, the thicker the oats will be. To loosen them up to a creamier consistency, stir in a few splashes of milk.
For the freezer.
You can also assemble the ingredients (minus the milk and pecans) into individual kits for the freezer. This is a great way to use up all your leftover carrots and has the ingredients for carrot cake overnight oats ready ahead of time. Here are some more tips on overnight oats meal prep freezer kits.
