Notes
- Heating: 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.
- Oats: Old-fashioned (or rolled) oats are the best variety for a creamy and smooth texture.
- Add-ins: Extra ingredients like yogurt, protein powder, spices, or nuts will enhance the flavor and health benefits of the oatmeal.
- Chilling: These oats need at least 2 hours in the fridge, but they're best if left overnight.
- Meal Prep: Make extra jars so you have breakfast ready all week.
