Get all of our tips and tricks for making these comforting oats below. Tips from the EatingWell Test Kitchen These are the key tips we learned while developing and testing this recipe in our Test Kitchen to make sure it works, tastes great and is good for you too! Rolled oats are the best choice for overnight oats. Steel-cut oats won’t soften as much, leading to a chewy, tough texture. On the other hand, quick-cooking oats will soften too much, leading to a mushy texture. If you don’t have pumpkin puree, you can substitute an equal amount of cooked and mashed sweet potatoes.Make your own pumpkin pie spice blend by combining cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and allspice to taste in a small bowl. Feel free to substitute another nondairy milk or cow’s milk if you don’t want to use almond milk. Nutrition Notes Oats are a good source of fiber, which has numerous health benefits. Fiber—including beta-glucan, a soluble fiber found in oats—can help stabilize blood sugar and lower high blood pressure. Oats are a prebiotic food, so they support the good bacteria in your gut. Pumpkin is associated with fall, but its health benefits will make you want to enjoy it all year long! The fruit is high in carotenoids, a pigment that gives pumpkin its orange color. Eating more high-carotenoid foods may help your eye health and lower the risk of advanced macular degeneration. The orange hue also supports a healthy immune system.

Overnight oats can be enjoyed cold or warm—it’s up to you! Eating the oats cold makes it convenient if you’re meal prepping and grabbing a jar on the go. To reheat the overnight oats, place in a microwave-safe container and microwave in 30-second intervals until they’re warmed to your preference. Add the yogurt topping after you’ve reheated the oats. How do I store overnight oats? Refrigerate overnight oats in the jars for up to 4 days.
