Notes
Tips and Tricks
Use Rolled Oats – Old-fashioned rolled oats give you a creamy breakfast with a little texture. Quick oats will be much softer. Adjust the Thickness – If the oats are too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of milk until they're the consistency you prefer. Keep the Swirl Visible – A gentle swirl gives you little pockets of cinnamon sweetness instead of mixing everything completely. Make the Glaze Smooth – Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing. Add a few drops of milk if the glaze is too thick to drizzle. Adjust the Sweetness – Start with a little glaze and add more if you want a sweeter breakfast.Storing
Refrigerator – Store the overnight oats in covered airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store the Glaze Separately – For the best texture, refrigerate the cream cheese glaze in a separate airtight container and add it just before serving. Freezing – Freezing isn't recommended because the yogurt and cream cheese glaze can become watery or grainy after thawing.Nutrition
