Hi Chris! We think the steel cut oats may be the culprit. It’s likely that they need more time to absorb all of the liquid. If you were happy with the final texture, you could try using less liquid and the same amount of rest. But if you found that the oats weren’t as soft as you would have liked, then letting them sit in the fridge for longer to absorb more may be better!

Complete overnight oats newbie here. I tried the base vanilla recipe last night and this morning there was a considerable amount of milk that had settled its way to the top of the jar. I mixed it, and it was still very runny. I did follow the measurement instructions. I used steel cut, and a low sugar non fat Greek yogurt. I will have to use regular Greek Yogurt as the low sugar stuff was way to sour tasting. I will try reducing the amount of milk for tonight’s batch, but was curious what your thoughts on the runny texture was. Thank you!

Hi Teila! You can use any kind of dairy or plant-based milk you typically use and have on hand. Here’s what we say in the post, “This can be dairy milk or any plant-based milk you enjoy. I prefer to stick to unsweetened milk so I can customize the sweetness later. Unsweetened almondmilk is what we use in our house, but we’ve also enjoyed them with coconut milk, cashew milk, soy milk, and oatmilk!”

So for people wanting a healthier version do that! 🙂

Hi Shelby! Here’s some info from the post under the section “Do you have to use the chia seeds or flax meal?” that I think will help!

“Have to? Nope. Do I highly recommend you do? Yes. Adding in chia or flax seeds helps the overnight oats thicken and get nice and creamy. If you don’t have them around to add, cut back on the liquid by about 1/4 cup on each recipe, and be aware that your final oats won’t be as dreamy creamy. Oh, and make sure to use ground flax meal instead of whole flaxseeds. The whole ones don’t have the same thickening properties as the ground stuff.”

So you can try ground flax meal in place of the chia seeds or leave them out and adjust the liquid as mentioned above. I hope this helps!

However, due to a diet restriction, is there a way to make these without the chia seeds? Should I just add extra oats to help thicken up the consistency when I omit the chia seeds? Thanks for any help!

Hi Michelle! Most online conversion resources put 1 US cup at 240ml (some say 250ml). Volume isn’t a precise measurement, so it’s approximate. Either one should suit this recipe just fine! You can always adjust to use more or less liquid to suit your preferences after making the first batch. I hope this helps!
