Additional Tips
- This is just one way to flavor overnight oats, the sky's the limit with flavoring. ingredients! One thing to keep in mind with this is that you don’t want to soak fruit or soft ingredients overnight, those should be added right before eating.
- If you don’t like the consistency of oatmeal, you can use steel cut oats instead of rolled oats. They come out firmer, but they take a little longer to soak (10-12 hours).
