Notes
Tips & Suggestions:
Oats- Using old-fashioned oats to make overnight oatmeal is ideal because they absorb liquid well and maintain a chewy, hearty texture after soaking. Unlike instant oats, which can become mushy, old-fashioned oats provide a satisfying consistency and retain their structure, resulting in a more enjoyable and substantial breakfast.
Quick-cooking method- If preferred, the overnight method can be skipped and a quick-cooking method can be used. Simply mix your ingredients and microwave for approximately 2 minutes. You will need to add an additional 1/4 cup of almond milk for this cooking method.
Storage- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They make for a convenient meal prep option, allowing you to prepare several servings at once for a quick and easy breakfast throughout the week.
