Place the oats in the bottom of a 12-ounce mason jar and then add the flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt, and stir.
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract, and then add the almond milk and stir well.
Add fresh berries to the top, screw a lid on the jar, and place in the fridge.
Allow the oats to chill overnight, or at least 8 hours.
Top with your favorite toppings or berries and enjoy!

Tips for Success

Any berries will work, as berries are often recommended in lactation-friendly diets.
Ground flaxseed blends in easily and has little to no noticeable taste—give it a try before skipping it. Chia seeds can be used in place of flaxseeds.
Honey can be used instead of maple syrup if preferred.
Almond milk works especially well, but coconut milk or other milks can be substituted.
Chill for a minimum of 4 hours.
Add Greek yogurt if you’re not sensitive to dairy and want some extra protein.
Steel cut or rolled oats also work, though texture may vary slightly.
For thinner oats, add an extra ¼ cup milk.
This recipe was designed with milk supply support in mind, so keeping as many core ingredients as possible is recommended for best results.

How to Store

Store prepared overnight oats in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir before eating and add a splash of milk if needed.
