Megan says
What are the best oats to use. That is the only thing I’m not sure about. Is it rolled oats, quick oats, Irish oats??
Thank you!!

Hi Megan, it is best to use rolled oats!
Junio says
I’ve been introduced to overnight oats by my daughter in law in Albuquerque and wow how I live it. Will certainly be trying some of these recipes especially those with pineapple and coconut.
J.P. Cox says
Can you heat them up? My husband likes a hot breakfast.
prudentpennypincher.com says
Yes, you can heat them up. 🙂 In the microwave for about a minute is the quickest and easiest way to do it.
Sharon says
Hi have you tried clove and cinnamon it is yummy add cloves to taste
Charlene Connell says
I’m not into hot oatmeal and I’m hooked on overnight oats. Also, losing weight having these for breakfast. I must say, it wasn’t love at first sight. The first day I had to force it down. But now I get grumpy when we forget to make them the day before. I only use two recipes right now, but we’re planning to try more this week. Even the baby eats overnight oats with almond ‘milk’ as he has dairy sensitivity.

I Love oatmeal, but have always shyed away from these. I have yet to make one of them but am getting closer to trying them. Have a silly question, you just take them out of the fridge & eat them cold, right? Do they have a thick texture? I know I’m being silly.
prudentpennypincher.com says
Yep, you just take them out of the fridge and eat them cold! It doesn’t have the same texture has regular oatmeal. It has more of a pudding type consistency–it’s creamy and a bit thicker. If you love oatmeal, overnight oats is definitely worth a try! 🙂
Erin @ The Speckled Palate says
Thanks so much for including my Strawberry Overnight Oats in your round-up! I’d like to try ALL these recipes soon!
