My Go-To Oats for Creamy, Dreamy Overnight Oats
Trust me when I say I’ve tested every type of oats out there when I’m making overnight oats, and large flake oats always work the best.
When I tested this recipe using quick or instant oats, they turned out way too mushy.
Save this Recipe!
Once you’ve made these oats, you’ll likely have some leftover Date Paste Caramel—don’t let it go to waste! I highly recommend blending it into The Best Blueberry Kale Smoothie (Dairy-Free!) for a deliciously sweet and nutrient-packed combo that’s perfect for any time of day!
