Preparing The Ingredients

Variations To Try

Want to switch up your overnight oats? Try these tasty twists on the classic recipe.

• Add a scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder for an extra protein boost. This will make your breakfast even more filling and nutritious.
• Swap out the cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice. It’ll give your oats a cozy fall flavor that’s perfect for chilly mornings.
• Mix in some mashed banana for natural sweetness and creaminess. You’ll get a hint of banana bread flavor that pairs well with the cinnamon.
• Sprinkle in some chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts. They’ll add a nice crunch and some healthy fats to your breakfast.
• Top your oats with a dollop of coconut yogurt. It’ll make them extra creamy and give a slight tangy flavor that balances the sweetness.
• Stir in some grated apple for added fiber and a fresh taste. The apple will complement the cinnamon perfectly.
• Drizzle some maple syrup on top before serving. It’ll enhance the cinnamon roll flavor and add a touch of indulgence to your healthy breakfast.

Storage Tips

Keep your overnight oats fresh and tasty with these simple storage tips.

• Pop your prepared oats in an airtight container before putting them in the fridge. This helps lock in flavors and prevents your oats from absorbing other food smells.
• You can store your oats in the fridge for up to 5 days. This makes them perfect for meal prep at the start of the week.
• If you want to save time in the morning, portion your oats into individual servings. Grab-and-go containers work great for this.
• To keep your oats from getting soggy, add toppings like nuts or seeds just before eating. This gives you a nice crunch with every bite.
• For longer storage, you can freeze your prepared oats for up to 3 months. Just thaw them in the fridge overnight when you’re ready to eat.
• Remember to give your oats a good stir before eating. Sometimes the liquid can settle at the bottom during storage.
• If you notice any odd smells or mold, it’s best to toss the oats out. Better safe than sorry when it comes to food storage.
