Notes

  • Storage Directions:
  • The beauty of this dish is how easy it is to whip up the day before. It will keep for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge, but it is best enjoyed within 24 hours. After this time, it will start to get mushy. 
  • Recipe Tips
  • Overnight oats are best enjoyed straight out of the refrigerator. However, if you prefer warm overnight oats, simply heat them up in the microwave until they reach your desired temperature.
  • Roll out. Old-fashioned (or rolled) oats are the best variety for a creamy and smooth texture.
  • Plus it up. Extra ingredients like yogurt, protein powder, spices, or nuts will enhance the flavor and health benefits of the oatmeal.
  • Chill out. These oats need at least 2 hours in the fridge, but they're best if left overnight.
  • Go big. Make extra jars so you have breakfast ready all week.
