Notes
- Store: Refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: You can freeze overnight oats, however texture may change.
- Types of oats: Technically, you can use any oats, however rolled oats yield the best texture.
- Sweetener: Any liquid sweetener will work, however I find honey doesn’t dissolve well in cold milk.
- Yogurt: You can use any yogurt - plain, flavored, Greek or any plant-based. I tried them all and overnight oats turn out super yummy with any yogurt!
