Notes
1. Chill overnight oats made with rolled oats or quick oats at least 2 hours. This is enough time to thicken either type of oats into a decent texture but chilling at least 8 hours or overnight will produce the creamiest texture.2. Eat overnight oats made with rolled oats within three days. Overnight oats with quick oats should be eaten slightly sooner, within two days before the texture becomes too soggy or mushy.Don't leave overnight oats at room temperature for longer than 2 hours as bacteria can grow.
