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.
We had berries just growing everywhere along the streets and forests as a kid. Where the fuck did they go?
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
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.
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.
Healthy AF 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.
