Tips and tricks
The jar. Jars are a popular choice for making overnight oats because they are easy to carry, seal well, and keep the oats fresh. But the truth is that any container with a lid will do.
Choose the suitable oatmeal: Flaked oats are best for overnight soaking because they soften very well. Avoid using steel-cut or instant oats, as they can be too soft or mushy.
Add your favorite: The fantastic thing about overnight oatmeal is that you can customize it to your liking. You can add fruits, such as bananas, nuts, seeds, spices, protein powder, or whatever you like.
Liquid/oatmeal ratio: Use my recipe as a guide and try little by little how to make the oatmeal to your liking. If you like a thicker consistency, you can reduce the liquid slightly. If you prefer a more liquid texture, add a little more.
Soaking time: For the best texture, soak your oatmeal for at least 4-5 hours. However, leaving it overnight is the most convenient and produces excellent results, so you always have breakfast ready.
Don’t forget to mix: Before you put your oatmeal in the refrigerator for the night, be sure to mix all the ingredients well. This will help the flavors to meld and distribute evenly.
Finish in the morning: It is best to put the yogurt and if you are going to use fresh fruit or nuts in the morning so that the flavors are fresh and delicious.
