Notes

  • Watch the Video: For a better understanding of the recipe, I always recommend watching the video recipe, which includes a step-by-step guide to help you succeed.
  • FAQs: Make sure you read the FAQs for this recipe which are located above the recipe box for additional tips and troubleshooting! For extra tips and variations read the article.
Storage and shelf life:
  • Use Airtight Containers: Store overnight oats in airtight containers or jars with secure lids. Mason jars or small reusable containers work well to keep air out, preserving freshness.
  • Refrigerate Immediately: After preparing your oats, place them directly in the fridge to start the soaking process. Keeping them cold prevents bacterial growth and ensures they’re safe to eat.
  • Add Toppings Later: For the best texture, add fresh toppings like fruit, nuts, or seeds right before eating. This prevents fruits from getting mushy and keeps crunchy toppings crisp.
  • Ideal Storage Time: Overnight oats can last up to 5 days in the fridge. To make mornings easy, prepare multiple servings on Sunday to enjoy a ready-to-eat breakfast all week long.
