Recipe notes and tips
- You can prep these 30 mins in advance or overnight.
- Adding almond butter or peanut butter makes these oats even creamier and gives a nutty/savory twist to the flavor.
- We prefer you to not use quick oats as they will get too soggy when soaked with milk. Also, do not use steel-cut oats because they won’t soften enough to eat with milk. Stick with plain old-fashioned oats for the best results. But if you don’t have rolled oats, you can go ahead and use quick oats.
- If you prefer a looser consistency to your overnight oatmeal recipe, add a little more milk.
- Add your toppings just before serving. Toppings can not only prevent the soaking process from happening but throw off the liquid to oat ratio, leaving you with soggy oats!
- To make gluten-free use gluten-free oats.
- To make dairy-free use a dairy-free milk option, almond milk works great.
