Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best creamy texture. Quick oats may become too soft, while steel-cut oats require longer soaking.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
- Add fresh fruits and crunchy toppings just before eating to maintain the best texture.
- Adjust sweetness and toppings according to your personal preference.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and skip yogurt or choose a dairy-free alternative.
