Recipe FAQs:

Can the overnight oats be stored for more than one day?

Yes, overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. Stir well before serving.

Should the oats be eaten cold or warm?

Overnight oats are designed to be eaten cold, but you can warm them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes if you prefer.

Can I use quick oats instead of old fashioned oats?

Because quick oats are thinner and smaller, they may become too soft or mushy after soaking overnight compared to rolled oats.
