Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
- Before diving in, lay out your ingredients. It's like creating a mise en place, making the process smooth and breezy.
Step 2: Combine Oats and Liquid
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the steel-cut oats and filtered water. If you’re using milk, add it in here too. The ratio is key. Make sure your oats are well submerged to absorb all that liquid overnight.
Step 3: Add Flavor
- Toss in a pinch of salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. This is where the magic begins. Each ingredient adds depth and character to the dish.
Step 4: Stir and Cover
- Give the mixture a quick stir to combine everything. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Place it in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 5: Enjoy the Next Day
- When you wake up, grab your oats. The soaking process will have softened the oats significantly. You can eat them cold or warm them up.

Notes
To make your overnight oats experience even better, consider these tips:
Use fresh ingredients. The better your ingredients, the better your results.
Experiment with flavors. Don’t hesitate to get creative with spices and toppings.
Prep in batches. Make several servings at once. Store them in individual jars for grab-and-go convenience.
Adjust the liquid. If you prefer a creamier texture, add more milk or water.
Chill it. The longer you let it sit in the fridge, the creamier it will become.
