Checklist for Creamsicle Overnight Oats
Rolled oats: We prefer rolled oats in our overnight oat recipes for their hearty texture and ability to soak up all the flavors. Chia seeds: Add a nutritional boost and help thicken the mixture, giving it a pudding-like consistency. Maple syrup: The perfect sweetener to compliment the creamy orange flavor! Unsweetened almond milk: No need to add more sweetness here — the orange juice and maple syrup take care of that. But feel free to use any milk you have on hand! Orange juice: Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor! Nonfat plain Greek yogurt: Adds a creaminess and tanginess to the oats. Orange zest: Don’t skip this ingredient! It takes the creamsicle flavor to a whole new level.
Can you use old fashioned oats for overnight oats?
If you didn’t know this yet, rolled oats are the same thing as old-fashioned oats! Don’t ask us why there are two names… we assume it’s just to confuse people. But either way, old-fashioned oats are perfect for overnight oats because they have a hearty texture that holds up well after soaking in liquid overnight.
Can you use quick-cooking oats for overnight oats?
For sure! Quick-cooking oats also work well for overnight oats, but they will have a softer texture than rolled oats. If you prefer a creamier and less chewy consistency, then quick-cooking oats are the way to go.
It may take a few tries to find your perfect ratio, but trust that this recipe will taste delicious regardless.
How to Store
Overnight oats are meant to be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge, so they’re perfect for meal prep. Simply combine all ingredients in a jar, bowl, or container, seal with an airtight lid, and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
