Now the question comes – Why do we call it overnight oats? The reason is you need to soak oats for at least 7-8 hours or overnight. But, if you are in a hurry than you can make them in 2 to 4 hours, so that oats can easily absorb the liquid. The flavors turn out to be well-balanced.
What type of oats can be used to make this recipe? So here, rolled oats are the best for overnight oats instead of steel cut oats or instant oats. These rolled oats can easily absorb the liquid.
How do we consume these overnight oats hot or cold? Well, I recommend if you simply can’t take the cold oats than you can always heat them up. They are perfect for an everyday breakfast or snack
