Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or mason jar, mix oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), sprinkles, and salt until well combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours for the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
