FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, these overnight oats are perfect for meal prep. Simply prepare the oats the night before and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.

How do I make this recipe vegan?

To make this recipe vegan, simply substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative, and use maple syrup or agave as the sweetener.

Can I use a different sweetener?

Yes! Feel free to swap maple syrup for honey, agave nectar, or your preferred sweetener. Just adjust the amount to suit your taste.

What type of oats should I use?

Rolled oats work best for overnight oats, as they absorb the liquid well and create a creamy texture. Quick oats can be used, but they will become mushier. Steel-cut oats should not be used, as they require a longer soaking time and will remain too firm.

Can I freeze overnight oats?

Yes, you can freeze overnight oats for up to 1 month. Just make sure to store them in a freezer-safe container, and allow them to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before eating.

How do I make the consistency thicker?

If you prefer a thicker consistency, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds. These will absorb liquid and create a thicker texture.

Can I add other flavors or fruits?

Absolutely! Add fruits like apples, bananas, or berries to give your oats a fruity twist. You can also add a dollop of nut butter for added richness.

How long can I store overnight oats?

Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. The flavors develop over time, making it a great make-ahead breakfast option.

How do I make these oats creamier?

For extra creaminess, use full-fat coconut milk or add a little extra Greek yogurt to the mixture.

Can I serve these oats warm?

Yes, you can heat the oats in the microwave or on the stovetop if you prefer them warm. Just add a little extra milk to loosen the mixture before reheating.
