Notes
- This recipe is for one larger jar (10-12 ounces), suitable for a larger single serving, or for smaller servings. To make more, simply double the ingredients and repeat the steps for additional servings.
- Keep in mind that the oats will expand by about 10%, so don't fill the jars all the way until the top. If you do, you may need larger jars.
- Flavor: These cranberry oatmeal taste sweet, and tart, it's almost like having pie for breakfast!
- Texture: cool, smooth, creamy, and slightly chewy. You can always add more milk to make them softer.
- To Store: These overnight oats can be refrigerated for up to four days.
- To Freeze: I don’t recommend freezing this but this could be an option. Frozen overnight oats can last up to 6 months, but their taste, texture, and quality will be affected over time.
