Know Your Oats

There are many different types of oats. Let me break them down for you.

Oat Groats – Also known as grain kernel, these are the oats right after they have been harvested and the inedible hulls have been removed. Oat groats take the longest to cook and need to be soaked prior to using in overnight oats recipes.

Steel Cut Oats – Steel cut oats are made when you cut groats into smaller pieces. Doing this helps them cook a little faster. I prefer the texture of steel cut oats in my overnight oats recipes.

Rolled Oats – When you steam oat groats, they can be rolled into rolled oats. Rolled oats also go by the name old fashioned oats.

Quick Oats – Quick oats are rolled oats that are steamed longer so they take very little time to cook. I would not recommend quick oats for overnight oats recipes. They would get too mushy.

Now onto this new and delicious overnight oats recipe! You can use steel cut oats or rolled oats depending on the texture you like. Steel cut oats will retain a crunch, while rolled oats will make a smoother, more traditional oatmeal.
