    What Are Overnight Oats? 

    Overnight oats are made through the process of soaking raw oats in a liquid, typically milk, overnight until all of the moisture is absorbed by the oats and ready to eat. You can add a variety of different ingredients to the oats such as nuts, fruits, sweeteners and spices.

    Overnight Oats Benefits

    Oats have numerous health benefits and have become a popular breakfast option for many people. But are overnight oats healthy? Some may argue that eating oatmeal is just as bad as eating cereal in that it lacks nutritional value to be considered a healthy breakfast. 

    Overnight oats can be considered healthy since oatmeal can provide many benefits including lowering cholesterol and improving blood sugar regulation. Also, since oats are high in fiber it helps keep you full between meals and provides plenty of whole grains, protein , antioxidants and more.

    Recipe FAQ

    What is the secret to overnight oats?

    The one and only secret is to make the oats in advance. I can’t tell you how many times I forgot to meal prep overnight oats and in the morning the liquid did not have enough time to soak into the oats. The oatmeal needs at least 6 hours to soak before eating.

    Can you use quick oats for overnight oats?

    Yes. I’ve replaced the rolled oats with quick oats when I forgot to make the oats the night before. By using quick oats this lessens the time needed for the oats to soak in the liquid and you will not need to use as much liquid. Let the oatmeal sit for about an hour and it’s good to go. The texture will be slightly different, but the flavor will be just as good.

    How long are overnight oats good in the fridge?

    Overnight oats can be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    What is the best container for overnight oats?

    I’ve found that using a mason jar works best for an overnight oats recipe. It seals the oats in and keeps them fresh until you’re ready to eat them.

    What size mason jar for overnight oats?

    The best size jar depends on how much you want to make. The size jar that I used for this recipe was a 4 ounce jar. If you double this recipe you’ll need a bigger size jar.

    How to make overnight oats with protein powder?

    To make your overnight oats with a little extra protein, you can substitute the ground flax seed with the protein powder or you can simply add in about 1 tablespoon of protein powder with a little extra milk.

    Can you freeze overnight oats?

    I’ve never frozen overnight oats. The oats are best kept in the fridge for up to 5 days.
