Enjoy cold or heat up in the microwave or stove-top. Top with a dollop of vegan yogurt or whipped coconut cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, some granola and a cookie, if desired.
How to store and meal prep
Double or triple the batch and divide into separate mason jars or resealable containers.
Overnight oats can be stored in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Beyond that, they might get too softy and mushy.
Be sure to add any toppings or nuts just before eating.
Freezer and Reheating Instructions
How to Freeze: If you want to store your overnight oats in the freezer, be sure to store in a freezer-safe resealable container with a lid. Overnight oats will last up to 3 months in the freezer.
How to Reheat: To thaw out overnight oats without yogurt, leave them in the fridge overnight or on the counter.
Reheat in the microwave at medium-high to high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how warm you want them. The texture may be a bit softer than when they are made fresh.
To reheat overnight oats over the stove, simply pour them into a small pot over medium heat and allow to come to a boil.
