The Key Move
Ensure oats are fully submerged in liquid during the REST phase; this guarantees proper softening and prevents dry, crunchy oats.

The Mise en Place
5 of 6Your prep station before cooking begins
My oats are still hard after resting.
Ah, it sounds like they didn't get fully submerged in the liquid during that crucial REST phase.
My oats are too mushy and gluey.
This usually happens if we've got a bit too much liquid for the oats, or if they've soaked a little too long.
Chef's Notes
Stir well before serving to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed and the oats have reached their desired consistency.
Top with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of nuts for added texture and flavor.
Prepare multiple jars at once for quick grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week. They keep well in the fridge.
The Method
MIX
Stir everything in a jar.
REST
Refrigerate 6-12 hours.
ADJUST
Too thick? Add a splash of milk (1 cup). Too thin? Add a spoon of yogurt or chia.
