I’ve had overnight oats from the store and hated them because of the texture but making them as a quick breakfast is too easy to ignore so I decided to give them a try. I gotta say I’m a HUGE fan, the texture is much better and it’s so delicious and indulgent that I forget it’s actually good for me. I swapped almond butter for peanut butter because it’s what I had on hand and added a teaspoon of brown sugar because it was a little too bland since all my ingredients were unsweetened and the peanut butter made it a little too salty. The best part is it’s super filling and I don’t find myself starving before lunch time!

Awe we're so thrilled to hear, Courtney! Thanks for sharing the modifications too 🤗

I made this last night for my lunch/breakfast today.
I forgot, however, my dislike of squashy textured food - its why I don’t have milk on cereal. I don’t really know why I don’t like the texture.
HAVING SAID THAT: taste wise this is amazing, I love it! Texturally, obviously, this is like leaving cereal in milk for a bit too long. Like porridge. Which is fine, because actually? With enough chocolate flakes or raspberries I’ve managed to ignore the texture in favour of the taste.
It’s really good - if you don’t have textural issues with food, it’s a winner I’m sure

Tink - Oct. 22, 2022, 2:37 p.m.

I’m replying to this just to say yes, I’m a tad silly for not realising this would be a squishy, porridgey meal. It’s my own fault.
Also to add that maybe if I increased the amount of chocolate in the mix it’d be more enjoyable for me? I’m going to investigate and play around. I’ll eat this again for sure though despite my textural issues so take that as you will!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with it, Tink! Overnight oats do tend to be softer in their texture! Perhaps granola with yogurt may be a more crunchy alternative to consider? In case you're interested and haven't already seen, we have a collection of granola-related recipes here: pickuplimes.com/recipe/?sb=gr… Happy experimenting 🙂

This recipe was also my first time making overnight oats and it was easy to prep the night before. The next morning I added some plain coconut yogurt and chopped strawberries...delish! I was happy it kept me full until lunch.

So glad you enjoyed the overnight oats, Kiren!

My regular comforting oatmeal is in the summer switched for this cold and crunchy recipe. I make it at least twice a week, and I can never get bored of it, it's so so good.

I was new to overnight oats and actually also to oatmeal in general, and this was a great entry recipe :). Very easy to make in batch in multiple jars (and just add milk the night before). I liked to add some cinnamon. Very tasty!

I had a change of heart in the morning after making the oats and ended up cooking it on the stove and doubling the milk. Completely different dish but it inspired my warm chocolate oatmeal breakfast.. sprinkled toasted coconut flakes and warmed up some frozen berries on the side. which is still delicious so thanks PUL! :D

I honestly really disliked overnight oats and took a chance with this recipe. I'm so glad I did, it has completely converted me to an overnight oats lover! A must-try if you're trying to incorporate more oats into your diet - I'd also imagine kids would love this recipe as well! Maybe even as a school lunch?

This is so tasty!
Do you think this could somehow work as a breakfast bar to eat on the go?

PUL Team - June 9, 2021, 5:07 a.m.

Hi Yara, interesting question! It may be tricky to get the mixture to stick together to bring on the go. Perhaps adding less liquid with a bit more nut butter, firmly pressing the less wet mixture into a pan, and freezing or baking it may be one idea? If you're interested in a bar recipe, you may have more luck with our Hazelnut Granola Breakfast Bars recipe. Happy cooking 🤗

I don’t know why but my 1/2cup of oats are 55g not 40g :c

PUL Team - April 7, 2021, 3:26 a.m.

Hi Mari! Thank you for sharing this with us. It could be the type or brand of oats being used! Two other possibilities are the quality of your scale and also being sure to subtract the weight of whatever you're weighing the oats on 🙂 40 grams is an estimation, so if the recipe turns out with more oats that would be okay too 😀

These are my favorite overnight oats! I like to top the jar with frozen cherries so they thaw by morning. Sometimes I add a bit of yogurt, too. So delicious.

We're so happy to hear, Lydia! We enjoy serving it was yogurt as well 😀

I love the creaminess that the almond butter gives this overnight oat. Nice and filling with a refined touch from the chocolate. I’ve discovered that oat milk (biased since I use Oatly from Sweden...) is the better option for all PUL’s overnight oats. It doesn’t have any odd “background” flavour and is creamy unlike other options.
Love to top this breakfast with thawed strawberries or stewed apple with raisins and cinnamon

Sadia - March 15, 2021, 9:31 a.m.

The creaminess is my favourite part about these overnight oats 😊 and Oatly really is the best! Thanks so much, Louise!
