These orange overnight steel cut oats are made at night and enjoyed in the morning without any cooking!
I feel like I’ve been enlightened.
Overnight
Steel
Cut
Oats.
Who knew?!
You didn’t, right? This isn’t something I’ve just been unaware of the whole time is it?
That tends to happen to me. A lot.
Ulysses said they tasted like bubble gum. I don’t agree whatsoever, but that’s not really a bad taste so I figured I’d put it out there for those who might desire some bubblicious at 7am.
These are a totally different ball game than regular overnight oats, which I’m not a huge fan of because of the totally mushy, gummy consistency they have. These are chewy, nutty and have a delicious orange flavor throughout like your morning glass of OJ and oatmeal got frisky in the fridge overnight.
And after attending a birthday party with 15 kids age 4 and under yesterday, that’s about the only kind of friskiness that’s going down over here for a long time.

Would you change the amount of milk if using regular oats? Thanks

Probably not, you may not need the extra 1/4 cup in the morning but I'd keep the 1:1 ratio the same otherwise.

This is so pretty! I actually had oats this morning and was thinking it was kinda like a dessert haha….now if only every meal of the day was dessert!

Had the first half of these today and was rather disappointed. I was right, though. Now that I look over the recipe again, I see I didn't put nearly enough maple syrup in. For some crazy reason, I went with 1 TEASPOON instead of 1 TABLESPOON. Oopsy. I'll have to fix the other half for tomorrow to see what this is REALLY supposed to taste like.

Corrected the maple syrup amount in today's oats and have no other recourse now but to say just how AMAZING this is!! Sooo good. Sweet orangey goodness right here. I don't add the extra milk, 'cause I like my oats thicker (plus I eat them at work). Highly recommended! Just be sure to put in the right amount of sweetener. lol
