Can I make overnight oats without chia seeds?

Yes, you can skip the chia seeds, but the oats will be less thick. Use a little less almond milk if you prefer a creamier texture.

Do I eat overnight oats hot or cold?

They’re usually eaten cold straight from the fridge, but you can warm them up in the microwave with a splash of milk.

What type of oats work best for overnight oats?

Rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) are best. Quick oats can turn mushy, and steel-cut oats need more liquid and time.
