How to Make Overnight Oats

1. Add half cup rolled or ¾ cup quick oats to the jar. Quick ones are precooked and dehydrated, so if possible use rolled oats. But the nutrition in rolled and quick variety is almost the same.

This website has everything, the variety is simply wonderful. I look for one recipes and I end up finding so many more. I have bookmarked your website, it is my go-to for simple yet delicious recipes.

Hi swasthi I tried making this a few times but each time the oats tasted starchy and also had a starchy after taste for a long time. I used true organic brand of rolled oats. What could be the reason?

Thanks
