Notes
- If you make a large batch in a bowl, once it's set and thickened overnight scoop out about 1 cup for a single serving.
- I prefer the texture of rolled oats, but you can use quick-cooking oats as well. Just know that the texture will be a bit more mushy, like porridge.
- And remember that overnight oats don't have to be eaten cold. Just warm them up on the stovetop in a small pot or in the microwave for a minute or two the next morning.
