If you eat overnight oats to save time to get to work, then you are a tool.
If you eat overnight oats because you like the taste or because it saves on energy, then I don't judge.
What's wrong with "saving" time? I'd rather make overnight oats and have a more chill morning rather than rush to make a meal.
And low key overnight oats are way tastier than most porridges people make. Make it with almond milk and yogurt, smush in a banana, add cinnamon and honey and before eating sprinkle on some cashew nuts. Absolute god tier breakfast.
No no no, sorry. Saving time is not the problem. Life is meant to be enjoyed and if it makes your morning more enjoyable and chill, then I am all for it. The problem is the corporate grind culture which proritizes work over life e.g. "make over night porridge so you don't waste time on breakfast to get to work faster"
You make the meal either either way, you literally save no time
Do I want to know what overnight oats are?
If you like oatmeal but think “Hmm.. this could be colder… and slimier… 🤔”
Add some cocoa powder to it, mix it up, let it cool off in the fridge and enjoy 😋 very delicious and simple, maybe throw in even some frozen fruits yummy
It's a cold version of porridge where the oats are soaked overnight instead of being heated fresh.
Raw porridge basically. Add some nuts and raisins, let it soak overnight. 😚👌
Less slimy than cooked porridge imho.
If someone has a problem with the general slimines, you can eat just oatmeal with milk (or substitute), and whatever dressings you like. It is quite tasty, if you add sugar, and some raisins. No need to soak or boil.
I have banana, raisins and oat milk. It's great!
I don't like cold oats, BUT I do really like Steel Cut oats, in a slow cooker with a light timer attached to it on low.
Mix it all up in the evening, light timer turns on 3 hours before I wake up, turns on crockpot, light timer turns off 30 minutes before I wake up. Nice hot, fully cooked breakfast in the morning.
Do not listen to people who say it’s slimy. Idk what the hell they are putting in it for it to be slimy.
My go-to is milk, brown sugar, and steel cut oats overnight. In the morning I’ll add diced strawberries and blueberries or banana. Awesome breakfast that’s extremely healthy. If you want even more sweetness you can add some maple syrup.
They use quick oats instead of rolled oats or steel cut oats. Turns into depression paste. Don't do that. Also check to make sure your rolled oats are not "quick rolled oats", because apparently that's a thing
They are oats let to soak in water in frodge over night, like the name suggest.
Why do you need to judge either way?
Because life is more important than work and anyone who claims otherwise is a tool.
Honestly, overnight oats are great. Add some raisins and nuts (in the evening), it's a perfect meal. Much better than cooked porridge, which is much more "peasanty" anyhow.
I like gale's comparison otherwise. Reminds me of John Lennon.
good point
no need to fire up the 1500 watt kettle
