FAQs:
Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats? Yes, but the texture will be softer. Rolled oats provide the best consistency for overnight oats.
How long do overnight oats last in the fridge? They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Can I make this recipe vegan? Absolutely! Use a plant-based milk and skip the Greek yogurt or use a dairy-free alternative.
Do I have to use brown sugar? No, you can substitute with honey, maple syrup, or a sugar alternative of your choice.
Notes & More:
- To make your oats extra creamy, use a mix of milk and yogurt.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
- Try adding mix-ins like cocoa powder, nut butter, or protein powder for variety.
