My new favorite way to enjoy oats!
I used to dislike the texture of overnight oats. Every recipe left me with a congealed blob of oats that was anything but appetizing, and no amount of milk or thawed berries seemed to revive the gummy mixture.
Until a few weeks ago, I had written them off. But after seeing a picture of the cutest little mason jars filled with overnight oats, I was inspired to give them another try.
This time, the end result convinced me that overnight oats could be just as creamy and delicious as my go-to stovetop oats recipe. It’s taken a bit of tweaking, and honestly, I hardly use precise measurements, but here’s a base recipe that will get you most of the way. Try it once, then tweak to your liking. That’s the fun of cooking, after all!
