Can I use instant oats instead?

While you can use instant oats, it may change the texture and absorption. Instant oats cook quickly and may become too mushy after soaking overnight. If you prefer instant oats, reduce the soaking time to just a couple of hours.

How can I make these oats dairy-free?

To create a dairy-free version, substitute regular milk with almond, coconut, or oat milk. All of these alternatives add delightful flavors and maintain a creamy consistency without lactose.

Can I heat my overnight oats?

Absolutely! Heating overnight oats is a great option if you prefer a warm breakfast. Simply place your oats in the microwave for about 30 seconds to a minute until warmed to your liking.

How long do overnight oats last?

Overnight oats can last up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, for the best texture and taste, it's recommended to consume them within the first two days.

What can I do with leftovers?

Leftover oats can be adjusted by adding a splash of milk for freshness and enjoyed as a snack or dessert. You can also use leftover oats as a base for smoothies or pancakes.
