- Top with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup just before serving for extra sweetness and texture.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use rolled oats other than old-fashioned oats?
Old-fashioned rolled oats work best for overnight oats due to their absorbency and texture. Quick oats can become too mushy, while steel-cut oats require much longer soaking.
Is it okay to skip the chia seeds?
Yes, chia seeds add thickness and extra nutrition but can be omitted if you prefer. The oats will still soak up the liquids and develop a creamy texture.
