Do you eat overnight oats cold?

Overnight oats are typically eaten cold. Because they soak overnight, they are plenty soft to enjoy cold right out of the fridge. It's a great breakfast or snack for summer and warmer days.

Can you heat up overnight oats?

If you prefer your overnight oats warm, you always have the option to heat them up for about 30 seconds in the microwave or on the stovetop. Adjust the liquids to maintain their creamy texture if necessary.

How long do overnight oats need to sit?

While it does take some time for the oats to absorb the liquid, they don't have to be soaked overnight. You can make them in about 4 hours.

Can you leave fruit in overnight oats?

Absolutely! Adding fruit to your overnight oats is a great way to naturally sweeten and boost the nutrition of your dish. However, be aware that some fruits may become discolored or mushy if soaked for too long. To avoid these issues, experiment with different fruits and adjust the soaking time as needed.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Combine oats, chia seeds, coconut milk kefir, and vanilla extract in a container or bowl. Stir to combine thoroughly. Fold in mango chunks.
Cover and refrigerate oats overnight (or at least 4 hours). The oatmeal softens and thickens into a pudding-like consistency.
When ready to consume, uncover the container, stir the mixture again before serving, add toppings if you like, and enjoy!

Notes

Use any fruit you enjoy eating. Other than mangoes, we love this kefir overnight oats with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, apples, or peaches.

The kefir overnight oats can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

I find it easier to mix the ingredients in a big container or bowl. However, you can also make this recipe directly in an individual jar, such as mason jars or weck jars. For the amount of ingredients listed for this recipe, you might need 3 to 4 jars.
