Tips For Making Concord Grapes Overnight Oats

1. Choose the Right Cream Or Milk

Trying different types of milk in your overnight oats can bring new flavors and textures. Almond milk adds a light, nutty taste, while coconut milk makes it creamier and a bit tropical. You can also use DIY oat milk for extra creaminess or stick with classic dairy milk for a rich and familiar flavor. Here’s a handy list of milk ideas to use for overnight oats.

2. Mix Well And Let It Sit

Mix well and let it sit for the oats fully absorb all the flavors and get a creamy, delicious texture by morning.

3. Store Properly for Freshness

Store your oats in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 3 – 4 days. I like to use Weck Jars but a mason jar also works perfectly too.

4. Adjust Sweetness to Taste

Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less maple syrup. You can also switch from maple syrup to honey if you prefer that instead.

Steel cut oats are not the best kind for overnight oats. If using steel-cut oats, let them soak for at least 8-12 hours. Rolled oats are the best type for this recipe. See this overnight oats guide for more info.

For a crunchy twist, try topping your Concord Grapes Overnight Oats with granola or chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts.
