Notes

Expert Tips

Use Rolled Oats (also called Old-Fashioned Oats) for best texture when soaked. I use Bob's Red Mill rolled oats.
For thicker oatmeal, add a bit less milk to the oat mixture.
If you like your overnight oats a bit thinner, add a little extra milk.

Storage

Store overnight oats in an airtight container. You can keep overnight oats in the fridge for up to 5 days. They will continue to get creamier the longer they sit. I typically make them the night before and let them soak overnight, but you could meal prep multiple jars to have them ready for you throughout the whole week.

Additional Nutrition Information

This recipe contains heart-healthy fatty acids, dietary fiber important for gut health, and a powerful antioxidant called anthocyanins found in blueberries that have been shown to support brain health. Vegetarian, gluten-free (if using certified GF oats).

Registered Dietitian Tip

Oats contain a dietary fiber called beta glucan which may help lower cholesterol levels, can help support your digestive system, and stabilize blood-sugar levels. Just a half cup of oats contains around 15% of your daily fiber intake for the day and 5 grams of protein. These overnight oats are a delicious way to nourish your body with care and stay full and satisfied until your next meal.
