FAQ
How many servings does this overnight oats recipe make?
It makes two servings.
How long should the oats soak?
Refrigerate them for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, but quick oats will become softer and may need less soaking time.
Should I use ground flaxseed?
Yes. Ground flaxseed blends more easily and gives the oats a smoother texture.
Can I use frozen blackberries?
Yes. Add them frozen or thaw them first; thawed berries may make the oats more colorful and softer.
What can I use instead of honey?
You can omit it or use another sweetener, such as maple syrup, according to your taste.
How should I adjust the texture in the morning?
Stir the oats and add a splash of kefir if they are too thick.
How long can the prepared oats be stored?
Keep them covered in the refrigerator and enjoy them within about 2 days for the best quality.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Use a suitable dairy-free fermented alternative, keeping in mind that the flavor and texture may differ.
