Tips

You can replace ¼ cup (60 ml) of the milk or non-dairy beverage with the same quantity of yogurt or coconut milk.

Overnight oats need to be soaked before consuming. During the process, the oats absorb the liquid and soften. The oat base can be prepared up to 48 hours in advance.

Overnight oats are great for using up leftover grains, fruit and nuts. Try other ripe fruit (nectarines, peaches, mangoes, etc.), or other fruit compotes and jams that you happen to have on hand. Above all, feel free to experiment with different toppings to suit your taste.
