What Fruit Is Best For Overnight Oats?

You will want to use a rolled oat, either regular or jumbo oat to make your overnight oats. Instant, packet or quick-cook oats are not so good for this dish. They tend to go mushy when they are soaked.

You can eat the oats straight from the jar or pour into a bowl for serving. Overnight oats should last up to 5 days in the fridge in a sealed airtight container. Stir 1 Tablespoon of chocolate chips into the overnight oat mixture when prepping and then sprinkle oats with remaining chocolate chips to serve.

Any type of natural yoghurt such as Greek helps to make the oats even more creamy and filling. Again it can be dairy or non-dairy yoghurt. This is a good opportunity to use up yogurt you have frozen. Chia seeds or flax seeds.

To make vegan or dairy-free overnight oats you can use a non-dairy yogurt or skip the yogurt all together and use additional milk. Chia seeds – Chia seeds are optional, but I love them because they add a bit of fiber, protein and omega-3 fatty acids and they help absorb some of the liquid which gives the oats a thicker consistency.
