Notes

  • Oats: This recipe works best with rolled oats. Don't use quick oats, instant oats or steel-cut oats. Choose certified gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free. 
  • Chia Seeds: They help bind the oatmeal and create a thicker texture. You could replace chia seeds with ground flax seeds. You could omit them but you might need less milk (only ½ cup) and the consistency will be a bit thinner.
  • Storage: Refrigerate in a sealed container or masjo jar for up to 3 days (though best within the first day or two). 
  • Warm oats: Put your overnight oats in the microwave for 1-2 minutes if you prefer warm oatmeal.
