Overnight Oats
Oats soaked overnight in milk with chia seeds and honey, eaten cold the next morning with no cooking involved.
Where it comes from
Soaking oats instead of cooking them let people prepare breakfast the night before, a shortcut that spread once refrigerators made it safe to leave a sealed jar of dairy out overnight.
What cooks argue about
The debate is over the oat-to-liquid ratio: too little and the oats stay hard by morning, too much and they turn watery instead of thick.
Nobody has published a overnight oats recipe yet. The page stays out of search until one exists, which is the rule for every thin page here.
