Five minutes at night, one Mason jar, and in the morning you have something creamy, purple, full of blueberries crushed right into it. My son has been asking for this for months, and at some point I realized I was improvising it every single time. It needed to be written down properly. Here it is!<\/p>\n
Every overnight oats recipe out there tells you to use old-fashioned rolled oats. The argument is that quick oats drink too much liquid and turn to paste. I use quick oats and I think they are delicious. The result is smoother, creamier, less chewy under the spoon. And there is an even dumber reason than that: **quick oats are what people actually have in the cupboard.** Large flakes are rare in a normal kitchen. I am not sending you to the store for a five-minute breakfast.<\/p>\n
Here is the other thing nobody says: when is it actually ready to eat. Everyone writes “overnight” and lets you guess. I tested it at three hours. It is set, it is good, it is thick. The next morning it might be a touch better, but three hours is enough. Which means you can build it at 8 p.m. and eat it before bed. Or the kids can eat it in the car on the way to school, straight out of the jar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
