FAQs

Can I use instant oats instead of old fashioned oats?

Instant oats can become mushy when soaked overnight. Old fashioned oats provide the best texture for overnight oats recipes.

Is it necessary to use chia seeds?

Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add nutrition, but you can omit them if you prefer. The oats will be slightly less creamy without them.
