Overnight oats seems like an easy healthy way to eat breakfast consistently but unfortunately I saw this tweet once and now I can't bring myself to make them

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

That does not stop me. The love is too strong ;)
I think oats are like Brussels sprouts. You love it or hate it. It's hard to find people with in-between feelings for either of them.
I love oats but hate overnight oats. Something about the texture is absolute nightmare fuel for me. Love the shit out of hot oatmeal and granola, though. And oat milk is the best tasting plant milk to me.
I will gladly call it gruel and eat it every day.
also peasant is much closer to a compliment than it is tot an insult
If I could, I’d eat the matrix slop and never worry about food ever again. Bring on the gruel.
To be fair, peasant food is usually the best food.
Lobster!
I prepare them sometimes and they are delicious. I usually add some milk and a splash of marple syrup. I also like to add the fruits in the morning so they don't get too soggy. But I never tried with frozen fruit before and coincidentally I have a couple of bags on the fridge so guess I'm eating overnight oats tomorrow :)
Every once in a while I try overnight oats, and every time it feels like I'm eating wet cement. I love regular oats in the morning, but I can't get over the glue and powder mouth feel of overnight oats. Any trick around that?
Maple syrup
I cook my oats so the spoon can stand up in it. But that does not work for over-night. I think you need more milk/yogurt.
Also, usually you put in oats and pour milk and yogurt on top and let it sort out itself. I once saw a recipe that said to stir it all. You can try that too.
Yessir!!
I eat my version of overnight oats every day.
Mostly my base is Greek yogurt, and I'll put a scoop of protein powder in and a splash of milk so it's not too thick.
I sometimes throw cocoa in it, but usually I'll throw some fruit preserves and honey in it. My wife can't understand how I eat basically the same thing every day but I love it.
I'll actually use quick oats and make it in the morning before work and eat it for lunch
She sometimes buys vanilla quark which is bit thicker than greek yogurt. That to I blend with oats, but not always adding milk. If you get the ratio wrong, you end up with something you could use to build a 5 story apartment building.
I also like overnight oats, your version sounds great.
I just want to call out that both rolled barley and rolled rye are very similar to oats in texture and prep. The barley has a much lighter flavor and rye has a nice burst of flavor, I like to mix a bit into oats for some variety.
Thnx! it's appreciated and will certainly try
Oats is the bomb!
Ah yes. That time i felt froggy at 10pm. A next-morning-treat.
