What Kind of Oats Should I Use?

For overnight oats, you want to use old-fashioned rolled oats. This is because they will slowly absorb the moisture overnight, giving you a deliciously creamy texture. You want to avoid instant, quick-cooking, or steel cut oats because they will not absorb the liquids in the same way, leaving you with soggy, lumpy texture.
