- Make sure to use rolled oats. I always recommend using old-fashioned rolled oats when making overnight oats with water. Quick oats will get too soft and won't provide the same chewy texture, and steel-cut oats won't soften at all. This recipe has the perfect ratio between oats and water so that you're left with soft, chewy, and thick overnight oats.
- Add your favorite toppings. Overnight oats without yogurt are neutral in taste, that's why it's essential to add great toppings. Not only do you add more flavor, but you can make your breakfast more nutritious by adding nuts, seeds, and fresh fruit.
- Prepare it in jars for a quick breakfast on the go. If you're a busy person and don't have the time to make breakfast in the morning, this is the perfect recipe for you! You can make the oats in a mason jar and take them on the go with you.
- Make a big batch. The best part of this recipe is that it's great for meal prep and lasts for 4-5 days in the fridge. This means that you can make a big batch on Sunday that will last you for the whole week.
- Serve it warm if desired. Some people are not a fan of cold oatmeal, and I get it! You can warm your overnight oats in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or on the stovetop until warmed through.
