🍶 Storing

Refrigerator Storage: After preparing your overnight oats, transfer them to an airtight container or jar with a lid. Place the container in the refrigerator and store for up to 4-5 days. This allows you to have a ready-to-eat breakfast option throughout the week. Just give the oats a good stir before serving.

Freezer Storage: If you want to store your overnight oats for a longer period, you can freeze them. Portion your oats into individual freezer-safe containers or resealable bags. Make sure to leave some room for expansion. Frozen overnight oats can be stored for up to 2-3 months. When ready to eat, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and give them a thorough stir before enjoying them.

Reheat: If you prefer to enjoy your overnight oats warm, you can reheat them in the microwave or on the stovetop. For the microwave, transfer a portion of oats to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until warmed to your liking. On the stovetop, transfer the oats to a saucepan and gently heat over low-medium heat, stirring frequently, until warmed through. Add a splash of milk or water if needed to adjust the consistency.

Remember, if you're adding any toppings or fresh fruits, it's best to add them just before serving to maintain their freshness and texture. Enjoy your convenient and delicious breakfast, whether it's enjoyed cold or reheated!

💭Top Tips

• Use the right oats: Opt for rolled oats or old-fashioned oats for the best texture and consistency in your overnight oats. Avoid using instant quick oats or steel cut oats, as they may not soften properly.
• Maintain the liquid-to-oats ratio: The general guideline is to use a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio of oats to liquid, depending on your preferred consistency. Adjust the amount of liquid according to your personal preference. If you like thicker oats, use less liquid; for a more porridge-like consistency, use more liquid.
• Experiment with liquid options: Besides almond milk, you can try regular milk, or any type of non-dairy milk, like coconut milk, soy milk, oat milk, cashew milk or even fruit juice to add different flavors and dimensions to your overnight oats. I have made this with flavored milk as well. 
• Mix in the morning: While the oats soak overnight, it's best to mix in any additional toppings or fresh fruits in the morning just before serving. This helps maintain their texture and prevents them from becoming too soggy.
• Customize to your taste: Don't be afraid to get creative with your add-ins and toppings. Customize your overnight oats with your favorite fruits, nuts, sunflower seeds or hemp seeds, spices, or sweeteners to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs.
• Don't forget the sweeteners: If you prefer your oats on the sweeter side, consider adding natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or more mashed bananas. Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed.
