A scoop of Greek yogurt is a great addition to make your pumpkin overnight oats extra smooth and creamy. Here are the best tips to keep your soaked oats fresh and delicious every time.

Use certified gluten-free rolled oats to make sure that your oatmeal is gluten-free.
Quick oats will get too soggy and turn into mush when soaked with milk.
Steel-cut oats won’t soften very much, which results in a much chewier texture.
To make it vegan, choose a dairy-free alternative like soy milk, oat milk or almond milk. Instead of honey, use maple syrup to keep it free from animal byproducts.
Overnight oats are typically served chilled. However, if you prefer warm oats, you can heat them in the microwave. Use a jar that is microwave-safe and stir frequently while you’re warming it up.
Meal prep overnight oats ahead of time by making a batch on Sunday evening. As a result, you will have it on hand in the fridge for the whole week. They typically stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days.
If you want to reduce the creaminess, then substitute water to balance out the effects of the Greek yogurt.
