Notes
How long do overnight oats last in the fridge?
Once prepared, overnight oats stay fresh for up to five days in the fridge. Store overnight oats in a covered bowl, tupperware container, or glass jar with a lid.
Note that the longer overnight oats sit, the softer they will become. The oats continue to absorb more and more liquid, which breaks down the grains into a softer texture.
Best oats for overnight oats
The best type of oats to use to make overnight oats are old fashioned rolled oats because they provide the best texture. Quick oats or instant oats are too mushy, and steel cut oats do not absorb enough liquid.
