How to get the perfect Overnight Oats every time

Linwoods Overnight Oats is a tasty and healthy breakfast that is much easier to prepare than traditional overnight oats. Be gone the copious amounts of ingredients, the ‘guestimations’ on how much oats, how little liquid, how much exactly is a sprinkle of whatever powder you’ve decided to add…

We’ve all been there when are soaked oats are too thick, and it’s difficult to eat, or, we’ve added too much liquid and they are too thin, more like a soup than a porridge.

Well get ready because your Overnight Oats are about to get a lot easier with Linwoods to make the perfect overnight oats.

As we say on our packs, Just Add Milk & Chill, but if you need a little more detail follow the below step to get the perfect overnight oats consistency.

Oats of choice: Choose from the range of Linwoods Overnight Oats the flavour that best suits your dietary needs and preferences.

Strawberry Energy Overnight Oats delivers energy supporting nutrients through Vitamins B6 and B12. These B vitamins support energy yielding metabolism and tiredness reduction.
Chocolate Protein Overnight Oats contains 11g of plant-based protein per 50g serving to support muscle growth and magnesium to help reduce tiredness and fatigue and support normal muscle function.
Original Energy Overnight Oats which gives you the option to customise your oats with whatever toppings you prefer whilst also adding those energy supporting B Vitamins.

1 serving = 50g Linwoods Overnight Oats

1. Milk of choice: Choose your preferred milk or yogurt to add to the oats. You can use dairy milk, dairy-free milk, almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, or yogurt. Be sure to add the correct amount of milk or yogurt, depending on the flavour of Overnight Oats you are making.
2. Mixing: Add 100ml of milk or yogurt to 50g Linwoods Original Energy Overnight Oats or Strawberry Energy Overnight Oats. Add 125ml of milk or yogurt to 50g Chocolate Protein Overnight Oats. Combine the oats and milk in a jar or bowl but try not to overmixing, as this can make the oats gooey.
3. Soaking: Cover and refrigerate oats overnight. This will give the oats enough time to soften and absorb the liquid for a creamy and dreamy consistency.
Toppings and flavours: Our Chocolate Protein and Strawberry Energy Overnight Oats are already packed with flavour, but you can get creative and experiment with different toppings on Linwoods Energy Original Overnight Oats.

Here are a few overnight oats topping combinations you might like to try for that extra zing:

Berry Blast: Fresh berries, chopped almonds, and a drizzle of honey for natural sweetness and to help balance out the richness of the oats.
Apple Cinnamon: Sliced apples, ground cinnamon, and a dollop of yogurt for a warm and cosy flavour.
Peanut Butter Cup: Peanut butter, chopped peanuts, and chocolate chips for a rich and nutty flavour and velvety texture and ad added source of protein.
Tropical Paradise: Mango, pineapple, coconut flakes, and a splash of almond milk. Mangoes and pineapple are a good source of vitamin C.

Once you have added your desired toppings, give your Overnight Oats a good stir and enjoy!

Here are a few more tips for achieving the perfect overnight oats consistency:

Ensure the oats are covered to prevent them from drying out. Overnight oats are soaked in liquid overnight, so they can dry out if they are not properly sealed. This can make them less flavourful and less enjoyable to eat.
Stir the oats before serving. This will help to distribute the liquid and toppings evenly. If the oats are too thick, add a little more milk or yogurt. If the oats are too thin, add a little more oats.
