Aight, I will not stand for overnight oats slander.
Shit is delicious. Get your toppings and sweetner right, try it again and then come back.
No peasant had strawberries, bananas or blueberries to fuck around with. They ain't had maple syrup or Greek yogurt in that shit. No one thought to make butter from peanuts (I know it's mostly butter, shhh) and add that in.
Fairly sure that seasonal berries would have been on the menu.
Honey as a sweetener seems viable
Greek yoghurt seems pretty likely anywhere cows were milked
We had berries just growing everywhere along the streets and forests as a kid. Where the fuck did they go?
The feudal lords also dit not have giga-yachts, enough wealth to buy social media companies and own about 50 politicians.
Yep. Rich get richer. It was also easier to hang them back then.
But overnight oats are still bomb.
Healthy AF too!
Gruel isn't bad, it's just like a savoury porridge. Of course you can make it really shit, but you can do that with regular porridge/overnight oats, too.
Ok, I've got some cut oats and oat milk. How do I go about this overnight oats thing? It just goes in the fridge?
Yes but that alone will probably not taste too good. A little more effort is worth it. Easy to meal-prep for the whole week too.
I use this guys base recipe and mess around with toppings. The banana bread and pb&j ones are a favorite.
This is a copy paste from his video description:

Thanks, I'll give it a go. How important are the chia seeds to the whole operation?
And one more dumb question: are rolled oats and steel cut oats different?
The chia seeds are fairly important. Both nutritionally and they give it a more pudding like texture.
Yes; cut oats are quicker to cook generally and in this case result in a less firm texture. But nutritionally the same.
Thanks for taking the time. I'm a little excited for this project.
Hell yea. Glad I could inspire giving this a go.
The nice thing is is that you get to control a lot of variables here. So pay attention to the first batch and note what you should tweak.
Need more texture? Walnuts! I'm curious to see how other nuts fair. Wanna try cachews at some point.
Too sweet? Less sweetner! Alternatively, add more for a morning sugar rush (I don't really do coffee so this works).
Something more tart? Dark chocolate & Dutch processed coca!
More frutty? Absolutely! I didn't mention mangos and peaches but I'm partial to them for this.
But as always: don't force yourself to like things some rando on the net is yapping about enthusiastically. Everyone is different so do what works for you.
