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"

    Raw porridge basically. Add some nuts and raisins, let it soak overnight. 😚👌

    Less slimy than cooked porridge imho.

    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.
