Breakfast just became a whole lot easier, and delicious, too. Overnight oats require no cooking, just time. Soak them in your liquid or yogurt of choice the night before and enjoy with unique toppings in the morning. That’s it! We use equal parts liquid and oats when soaking for our perfect consistency. Use more liquid or yogurt if you’d prefer a more porridge-like breakfast bowl. Also check out this helpful guide for a more detailed explanation of the ratio.
