FAQs
What is the best oats for making overnight oats?
I like using quick oats. Even though it’s a bit more processed, it makes a creamier texture. However, if you prefer old-fashioned or rolled oats, those work great too.
Can you make overnight oats without chia seeds?
Certainly. Simply replace the chia seeds with ground flax seeds or flax seed meal.
Can you make these cold oats recipe without yogurt?
I like adding yogurt to the oatmeal base for a creamier texture. But if you’d rather skip it, you can do so with no changes to the recipe.
Can you make creamy oats without milk?
Yes. You can replace the milk with water or your favorite tea. I love to make the brownie oatmeal with cooled black tea for a kick in the morning. Cold coffee would also work.
The lemon blueberry cheesecake works well with green tea.
To do so, make your favorite tea, then strain it if needed. Allow it to cool, and add the same quantity as the milk to your oats and stir well.
Can you make the blueberry cheesecake overnight oats with frozen blueberries?
Frozen blueberries work too. However, after thawing, the texture will be mushy. Nevertheless, still tasty!
Is this overnight oats recipe good for weight loss diets?
If you’re not following a strict weight loss diet, these are perfect for incorporating into your healthy eating plan. The ingredients are pretty clean and help encourage healthy digestion, and improved mood.
To make these oats even better and healthier for the gut, I would also mix in your favorite probiotic drops, just before serving.
Can you make this cold oats recipe ahead for meal prep?
Here’s the plan for meal-prepping overnight oats: make a large batch of these 5-way Overnight Oats on a Sunday, and you’ll have a different breakfast ready for each day of the week ahead!
Expert Tips
Keep these tips in mind when making any of this easy overnight oats recipe:
Start preparing the oatmeal base in the afternoon. This way, each jar will have at least 2-4 hours of soaking in the fridge. Then, you can divide the oats between individual jars and finish off each one with toppings. I recommend using 12 fl oz/350 ml jars, so you have plenty of space for toppings.

Miss Blondilish,
These oatmeal cups are not for breakfast these are dessert recipes as you have a ton of sweet stuff, chocolate, and too much cream in these items. Not a good way to start the day overloaded on glucose ! 🤪

[@Blondelish]

Hi! That's yogurt, not cream. And also, this oatmeal can be eaten both plain and with toppings. And as a topping you can choose anything else you like 🙌
