When ready to eat, stir and and enjoy. If overnight oatmeal is too thick, adjust with milk. You can eat it cold or warm, to warm up – place in a microwave or on a stovetop in small pot.

Tips and Warnings

  • Store: Refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze: You can freeze overnight oats, however texture may change.
  • Types of oats: Technically, you can use any oats, however rolled oats yield the best texture. 
  • Sweetener: Any liquid sweetener will work, however I find honey doesn’t dissolve well in cold milk.
  • Yogurt: You can use any yogurt – plain, flavored, Greek or any plant-based. I tried them all and overnight oats turn out super yummy with any yogurt!
