Overnight oats are the perfect meal for people who are in the rush each morning and looking for a quick bite. They’re pretty quick and easy to make, and they’ll taste incredibly creamy and delicious if you avoid these common mistakes while making them.
Wrong Ratio
Once you figure out the right liquid-to-oat ratio, your overnight oats will be a true delight. You shouldn’t play a guessing game when it comes to this step because you’ll struggle to get a creamy consistency. Sticking with a 2:1 ratio of liquid to oats will do the trick.
Using Instant Oats
Not all oats are created equal and instant oats don’t belong anywhere near your overnight oats. You should avoid using them because they’re too small, so they’ll end up dissolving in the liquid. Classic rolled oats are your best bet if you’re planning to soak them overnight.
No Stirring
It’s quite tempting to dig right into your oats in the morning, but a little bit of patience goes a long way. Don’t forget to stir your overnight oats, because this tiny step makes all the difference. By doing this, you’re making sure that the ingredients are well-combined and have the perfect texture.
