Can You Heat Overnight Oats?
Yes. You can absolutely heat overnight oats. 'Overnight' describes how the oats are prepared—not the temperature you have to eat them at.
Cold vs. warm
Cold overnight oats tend to feel thicker, firmer and more refreshing. Warm them and the texture becomes softer and more reminiscent of traditional oatmeal.
How to warm Dozy Oats
After the oats have soaked for at least six hours, remove the lid and microwave for roughly 45–60 seconds. Stir and check the temperature before eating. Microwave performance varies, so adjust as needed.
Will heating ruin them?
No. Heating changes the sensory experience, but it doesn't somehow undo the overnight preparation. The oats have already hydrated.
A breakfast for every season
Cold overnight oats can be wonderful on a hot summer morning. When the weather turns cold, Cinnamon Raisin, Apple Cinnamon or Spiced Pear warmed up can feel like an entirely different breakfast.
DOZY SAYS Overnight oats don't have a thermostat. Eat them the way you like them.
