Fun Facts About No-Cook Overnight Oats Recipes

Oats are gluten-free whole grains, rich in dietary fiber, high in antioxidants, and beneficial plant compounds called polyphenols.

The long, slow “cooking” process occurs when starch in the oat breaks down as the liquid is absorbed. During this process, another benefit of making no-cook overnight oats is that the level of natural phytic acid, sometimes called an “anti-nutrient,” is reduced. (Anti-nutrient is just a fancy way to say a substance interferes with the absorption of other nutrients.)

Overnight Maple French Toast Oat Tips

• No-cook overnight oats can be enjoyed cold or heated (microwave them for 40-60 seconds on HIGH or until the desired temperature). 
• Don’t “wing it” with the oat and nut milk ratio; too much liquid, and you’ll get cement-like oats.
• Assemble and portion out dry ingredients into several mason jars and store in a cool, dry place until ready for use; add your liquid and refrigerate as needed.

How To Toast Pecans

If you like pecans, toast some chopped pecans at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, allow them to cool, and store them in an airtight container or zip-top bag. You can do this the night before, then top the oats before eating.

The beauty of Maple French Toast Overnight Oats is that you place your ingredients in your mug, stir, refrigerate, and leave it alone until the morning, and voilà – breakfast is ready.
