| Post subject: | Overnight oats |
I read a recipe for overnight night oats. In a small Mason jar I add half a cup raw oats, nuts, ground flax seed, raisans, and shredded coconut, then fill it up with rice milk. I had it this morning, mmm. I think that would make a great snack. Didn't need any sweetener. |

I eat over night oatmeal a lot!! It's so good. I use old fashioned oats, berries, almond milk, Chia seeds, vanilla, protein powder, and sometimes yogurt. I could eat it every day. |

What makes it better overnight, vs. just eating it they day you make it? Seems like it would turn to mush? |

I'm with Lisa. The overnight oats were more work imo. It takes 2 min to make oatmeal in the microwave. If anything i'll make a bigger batch and freeze them in "pucs" (muffin pan) then put them in a baggie. Two of those fill dgs right up without having to get out all the extras. |

Well - to me they're two different things. Overnight oats are eaten cold and are very creamy (not mushy) because they're never cooked. I can make a few days' worth all at once - which makes them more efficient. I tend to like them in the summer. Cooked oats are warm, cozy and - yes - also quick. Just different : ) |

Yes, cooked oats are mushy. I like it cooked, but the overnight oats have more of a cereal and milk texture to me. Like Anna said, you can make up a big batch ahead of time. It only takes me a few minutes to mix it all together. Refrigerate overnight. Easy. Ps; these are not quick cook oats, which have a higher glycemic (sp?) index than old fashioned oats. |

Hmmmm, it sounds like the Muesli I eat, except I don't leave it overnight. I just pour some into a bowl, pour some vanilla almond milk on it and let it sit for a few minutes. It's delicious! I like to mix fresh fruit/berries into it. The box says you can leave it overnight, but I'm afraid to, because it already starts to get soggy after just a few minutes and soaks up the milk. If it got even more soggy, then ewww. Maybe it's different with regular oatmeal. I get confused by the different oats. I know I don't like the quick cook oats. When I eat oatmeal, it's just the old fashioned oats. |

Yes - Muesli = Overnight Oats : ) Two different words for the same thing : ) |

When I was a teen and in college I would toast my old fashioned oats in a dry skillet, then add the stuff including brown sugar, which would melt. I was making homemade granola. Then I just got lazy and skipped the skillet toasting. |
