Well, lets talk about it.
However, old-fashioned oats are considered slightly healthier due to their less processed nature and slightly lower glycemic index.
As a result, these oats provide longer-lasting energy and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
This also yields a well-balanced and creamy consistency that is both comforting and satisfying.
you’re able to choose to use dairy or nondairy milk.
Sweeten your oats with a drizzle of honey, agave or maple syrup to your specific taste preference.
For the finishing touch, add your favorite toppings and/or flavorings.
If youre feeling a little fruity, try adding in some sliced bananas, berries or diced peaches.
you could also experiment with shredded coconut, dried fruit or granola for added texture and crunch.
When youre done customizing your oats, cover your jar or container with a lid, and refrigerate overnight.
Bottom Line
Overnight oats are a great way to start the day.
Theyre convenient, nutritious and easy to make.
To make the best overnight oats, opt for old-fashioned oats over quick-cooking oats.
