Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix the overnight oats. Add all the ingredients into a sealable jar or bowl and give it a stir until combined.
  2. Soak. Let it soak in the fridge for at least 2 hours, but it's best to soak overnight for 8 hours. This will yield a creamier consistency.
  3. Add the toppings. Top your overnight oats with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you make a large batch in a bowl, once it's set and thickened overnight scoop out about 1 cup for a single serving.
  • I prefer the texture of rolled oats, but you can use quick-cooking oats as well. Just know that the texture will be a bit more mushy, like porridge.
  • And remember that overnight oats don't have to be eaten cold. Just warm them up on the stovetop in a small pot or in the microwave for a minute or two the next morning.
