Notes

💭 Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some questions (and answers!) readers often ask about making overnight oats and rhubarb.

Are overnight oats healthy?

Oatmeal and Overnight Oats are a great healthy breakfast because they contain whole grains and a lot of soluble fiber which helps fill you up.

When is rhubarb in season?

Similar to strawberries, rhubarb is in season from about April through July.

What goes good with rhubarb?

Rhubarb can be a bit tart, so adding some sweetness from honey, agave nectar or maple syrup is delicious. Strawberries and rhubarb are a classic combination, but it is also good with blueberries.

Should you peel rhubarb?

Similar to celery, rhubarb stalks can have tough stringy pieces. If your rhubarb is tender, you don't have to worry about that. However, any tough strings should be removed.

Do overnight oats have to be in a Mason jar?

You can use any type of container with a lid to make overnight oats.

📖 Variations

There are so many scrumptious possibilities with overnight oats. Add sliced strawberries to the top of your oats, or mix in a pinch of cinnamon.

I like to have a few plain overnight oats on hand to curb cravings. Drizzle on a little honey and some toasted almonds and raspberries for a decadent dessert that's actually good for you! For the kids, make smaller portions with their favorite fruits on top.

⏲️ Storage

Overnight oats must be stored in the refrigerator. These are best eaten in the first one or two days, although they will last for about five days.
