Yes, this recipe is just as delicious with cow’s milk. Using cow’s milk will also add protein to this recipe, which may help keep you satisfied a bit longer, too. According to the USDA, a 1/2 cup serving ofalmond milkhas just over 1/2 gram of protein. Compare that to a 1/2 cup serving ofreduced-fat cow’s milk, which has 4 g of protein.

Quick-cooking oats, also calledinstant oats, are rolled thinner and cut into smaller flakes than old-fashioned oats. They absorb liquid quicker, which means they will get too soft and mushy for overnight oats. For the best texture, we recommend using old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe.

Top these delicious no-cook oats with fresh fruit, such as raspberries, strawberries or blueberries. Add your favorite nuts and seeds for extra crunch and texture.

To avoid raw oats, make sure the oats are completely submerged in the liquid before covering and refrigerating. The oats also need to be refrigerated overnight to soften completely.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
