- Use a spoon or small whisk to thoroughly mix the dry ingredients together until they are fully combined.
- Pour in cashew milk and almond extract. Stir vigorously until all dry ingredients are fully moistened.
- Cover the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it rest for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- If you remember, give the mixture a quick stir halfway through the soaking time to ensure a consistent texture.
- When you're ready to eat, give the oats a good stir again. Adjust the thickness with additional cashew milk if necessary.
- Optionally, mix in powdered peanut butter or your choice of toppings like strawberries, cocoa nibs, and whipped cream before serving.
