Can I use quick oats?

Though quick oats may technically work, I recommend rolled oats. Rolled oats create a nice creamy texture, whereas quick oats can turn a bit mushy. Steel-cut oats may not wind up as soft as desired. For the best results, stick with rolled oats.

Can I add protein to this recipe?

Yes! If you'd like to add a bit of protein powder, feel free to do so during step 1.

Is this recipe healthy?

These overnight oats are loaded with nutrients like protein, healthy carbohydrates, fiber, and more. They make a wonderful and well-rounded option.

How do I store these?

Once assembled, overnight oats should be refrigerated until ready to eat.
