It is a great pick-me-up meal to get your day started, especially on those frantic mornings.

Oats should be steeped overnight, as their name suggests. If you're in a hurry, you can make them in as little as 2-4 hours. It takes some time for the liquid to be absorbed by the oat. For actual overnight oats, allow at least 8 hours. Because the oats were not given enough time to blossom, a quick soak may not yield the same effects as an overnight soak.
If stored properly, oats can last up to 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Oats grow softer as they rest longer, which I prefer on days 1-3. Days 4 and 5 are still safe to consume. They're perfect for preparing meals, and one of my favorite things to do is to prepare them in mason jars. As a result, you can start working on a week's worth of overnight oats on Sunday and not have to think about breakfast again until Saturday. How convenient!
Keep in mind that we're starting with the overnight oatmeal as the base. With the additional ingredients, you may be as inventive as you'd like.
Personally, I like the convenience of getting a jar of oats from the fridge and eating them cold. However, if you want to warm yours up, you're welcome to do so. Stir with a bit more milk if necessary. Put the overnight oats in the microwave for a minute. It's delicious, either way!
No. Freezing is not a good idea. The oats' texture will be different, and they will be overly watery.
