1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste or alcohol free vanilla flavor such as Alcohol Free Simply Organic or Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor

Instructions
1.
2. Slice the dates into thin pieces.
3. Place all ingredients except pecans in a mason jar or small bowl.
4. Stir well until everything is combined.
5. Cover and refrigerate overnight so the oats soften and absorb the liquid.

Notes
Use old fashioned rolled oats for the best texture.
Add more almond milk in the morning if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Keep nuts out of the mixture until serving to maintain crunch.
Fruit such as berries or sliced bananas can be added right before eating.
The oats keep well for up to three days in the refrigerator.
