    If the oats are thicker than you would like, you can stir in a couple of tablespoons of milk or water before eating.

Notes

Storage: Store overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Warm Overnight Oats: If you prefer to enjoy your oats warm, heat in the microwave, warm in 20 seconds bursts until they reach your desired temperature. Since this is made with yogurt, DO NOT overheat or they may curdle.
