Notes

Tips for Making Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats
    • Don't mix the nuts into your overnight oats until you serve them. If you mix them in overnight, they'll get soft and mushy.
    • It's essential to make these overnight oats with rolled oats. Quick oats will get overly mushy and gelatinous due to the way they're processed.
    • Store the oats in a container with a tight-fitting lid, such as these mason jars or these adorable overnight oat jars.
    • Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
    • Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds if desired.
