Combine half a cup of rolled oats and half a cup of milk in a jar.

Add about a tablespoon of maple syrup to sweeten.

Stir the mixture well to ensure no chia seeds are clumped together and no maple syrup is pooling at the bottom.

Seal the jar and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, the oats should have absorbed the liquid and softened, with the chia seeds plumped up.

For customization, add toppings such as peanut butter and strawberry jelly, crushed peanuts, and sliced strawberries for a peanut butter jelly flavor.

For apple pie flavor, add chopped apples, drizzle with maple syrup, and sprinkle with cinnamon and pecans.

For banana Nutella flavor, add hazelnut chocolate spread, sliced bananas, chocolate chips, and crushed hazelnuts.

For Almond Joy flavor, add almonds, chocolate chips, maple syrup, and shredded coconut.
