TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT OVERNIGHT OATS
- Store the Overnight Oat Recipes in a jar with room to spare since the oatmeal expands as it rehydrates, and so will any mix-ins you add.
- I usually shoot for a 1:1 ratio of oats to liquid unless I am adding chia or basil seeds; for those recipes, I use a 1:2 ratio. Use less liquid if you want thicker oatmeal and more if you like it runny.
- Despite the name overnight oats, they only need to soak for 2-3 hours before you can enjoy them. However, the longer the oats soak, the softer they will become.
- Give the mixture a good stir before adding your toppings and digging in.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the best liquid for overnight oats?
It depends on what you like. Milk is my preferred liquid to make these Overnight Oat Recipes. Use dairy, oat, almond, coconut, or soy milk. You can also use water, orange juice, apple juice, and yogurt.
What is the ratio of oats to liquid for these overnight oat recipes?
People often like their oats in one of two ways. Some want them to be thin and wet, whereas others enjoy more of a thick paste. I prefer mine thin, but I try to keep a good balance with each one of my overnight oat recipes, and I usually shoot for a 1:1 ratio of oats to liquid unless I am adding chia or basil seeds; for those recipes, I use a 1:2 ratio.
If my recipe is too thin, I recommend adding a tablespoon of Greek yogurt; this thickens the oats and increases the protein.
Do you eat overnight oats warm or cold?
Serve overnight oats chilled straight from the fridge for a convenient, no-cook breakfast that doesn’t need to be heated. However, if you find yourself craving something warm, microwave the oats for 30 seconds to a minute before adding the toppings.
