Tomorrow, breakfast will be overnight oats. Just fill an appropriate sized container with

  • oats
  • cocos
  • frozen red fruits
  • yogurt

and that sits in the fridge for a night. Usually one add some milk, but I found the frozen fruits to releases enough moisture.

My wife doesn’t understand how I can see it as food, let alone eat it, but I love oats. My daughter transports oatly (oat milk) and sometimes brings me some if the factory has a damaged pallet. I only use it to cook my oats (damn, you don’t need to add sugar with that stuff!!) and a combination of additives like raisin and/or seeds and/or nuts and/or apple. and cinnamon. you gotta have cinnamon.

    Every once in a while I try overnight oats, and every time it feels like I’m eating wet cement. I love regular oats in the morning, but I can’t get over the glue and powder mouth feel of overnight oats. Any trick around that?

      I cook my oats so the spoon can stand up in it. But that does not work for over-night. I think you need more milk/yogurt.

      Also, usually you put in oats and pour milk and yogurt on top and let it sort out itself. I once saw a recipe that said to stir it all. You can try that too.
