Reheating overnight oats.

I reheat in microwave almost everyday. I make a pot early in the week and then I have a quick breakfast during the work week. I like to add berries, a splash of almond milk and drizzle honey or agave on top. I think the steel cut variety hold up better to reheat than old fashion oats and quick oats get way to mushy.

I liked my oats with berries cold, but if I did apple pieces and cinnamon, I'd toss in some chopped nuts for crunch and microwave it.

I always made my overnight oats in a mug for exactly that purpose

I can not understand the reasoning behind overnight oats. It takes 2 minutes in the microwave to make oats fresh every morning.

The reason I tried it a couple of times is so flavours can soak into the oats, like coconut, chocolate or vanilla or whatever flavour you might like. Also as I add a lot of things and have to weigh each ingredient so if you're in a rush in the morning it can be good to prepare some of it the night before. To be honest I prefer the "making them in the morning way"

Overnight oats are usually raw and soften with whatever liquid you add.

Instant oats - rolled oats - old fashioned oats are not really raw. They have been steamed before rolling. It's true overnight oats are typically just soaked & refrigerated.

Steel Cut would be your raw oats.....unless of course you got the instant steel cut variety.
