Can you heat overnight oats?

How long do overnight oats last in the fridge?

Overnight oats can last in the refrigerator for up to five days. Just ensure they are stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Can I use instant oats instead of rolled oats?

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, protein powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
If using Greek yogurt, fold it in gently to keep the mixture light and airy.
Divide the mixture into jars or containers and seal them securely. Refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
In the morning, stir the oats once more before adding your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruits, nuts, or an extra sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

Mix well to prevent lumps. You can use coconut milk for a tropical twist and experiment with different toppings and flavors.
