FAQs
How long are overnights oats good in the fridge for?
Overnight oats are best after 3-4 days of making them! Be sure to only add the toppings when you’re ready to enjoy them. If you’re storing them for a few days, it’s best they are in a sealed container.
Can I heat up my overnight oats?
Yes. If you don’t like your overnight oats cold, they can be heated up too. I recommend adding more almond milk when you go to heat them since they are already thick after sitting in the fridge overnight.
Can I make these dairy free?
Yes. If you want to make these dairy free, you can leave out the yogurt. I love adding in yogurt to overnight oats to make it extra creamy but it can be omitted to make these dairy free.
What jars do you use?
I like using these for easy storage!
