FAQs

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Can I make multiple servings at once?

Absolutely. Just multiply the ingredients and store in separate containers.

What kind of blueberries work best?

Both fresh and frozen blueberries work well. Frozen will soften more overnight.

Is yogurt necessary?

No, it’s optional. It adds creaminess and protein but can be omitted.

Can I add protein powder?

Yes, mix it in with the other ingredients before refrigerating.

How do I make this vegan?

Use plant-based milk, skip the yogurt or use a vegan alternative, and choose maple syrup instead of honey.

Will the oats get too soggy?

No, they’ll be soft but pleasantly chewy. Stir before eating for best texture.

Can I add other fruits?

Definitely. Overnight oats are very customizable—try banana, mango, or mixed berries.

Do I need to stir in the morning?

Yes, a quick stir helps redistribute ingredients and improve texture.
