      I’m interested but know nothing about overnight oats. Are they special oats, or just the usual oats and it’s about the cooking/prep?

        Throw some oatmeal in a bowl with milk (or water) and leave it overnight. Then throw in some fruit and other things to make it tasty. It is actually quite good and very quick.

        It’s so easy. It’s easier than making hot oats. I use small jars. Half a cup of rolled oats out of a bag. Half a cup of oat milk maybe a bit of salt, vanilla sugar. Leave it in the fridge overnight. In the morning, delicious cold oats. Great summer breakfast. Takes seconds to prepare.

      I’m a tiny home dweller. It helps to be a small-statured nimble foldable person who never outgrew the thrill of having sleepovers in a fort, which I am. Now imagine the added thrill of having no mortgage, no rent, no utilities payments, debt-free, every dime I earn is mine to keep & spend as I wish, it’s all pretty great.

        That’s awesome if it works for you, especially if it’s your choice. I’m sure the stature helps tremendously.

        What I don’t like is single families competing with corporations for homes and driving the prices up to unaffordable levels, and then being fed all these videos about how we should cram ourselves into smaller and smaller boxes just so we could keep a buck we earn.

        It’s the same principle with buying a house. Once you own, your savings increases. Except I have a full sized washer and dryer with more leg room.

      No one actually needs a 4 bed 3 bath house with a 3 car garage and backyard with pool and storage for a bunch of different hobbies, tools and equipment.

      It’s just a wasteful use of resources and literally killing the planet because people aspire to this level of consumption.

      Very few are ready to have a conversation about what is actually required to avert climate catastrophe.

      Even fewer are prepared to give up the things required to actually avert climate catastrophe.

    Overnight oats slap. I make mine with oat milk, which is an exciting meta. A bit of cinnamon sugar and vanilla sugar, some honey in the morning.

    I am a daily oatmeal breakfast guy. It’s great for you and affordable. Definitely better for you than the egg, bacon, and pan fried potatoes. To each their own though, I would call people who eat oats peasants though lol

      So it is oatmeal? The weirdest part is referring to it as “oats” then, we say the full name where I’m from like proper green-blooded Americans.

        Overnight oats is some other things with oats refrigerated or something? Idk it’s cold though so I’m not about it. I like a hot bowl of oats with my coffee and overnight oats always looks like a pudding to me.

          Soaking the oats in cold water or milk over night helps your body to get some of the valuable ingredients. It’s probably a good idea to put them in the fridge overnight so the milk doesn’t go bad. But it’s no problem to heat the soaked oats in the microwave in the morning if you prefer them hot.

          If you forgot to soak the oats over night, you can also let them soak in hot water for 30 minutes for a similar effect.

          Or you can just eat them unsoaked. They might be a bit less healthy, but after all, they’re still a healthy food.

    Lots of sweet overnight oats comments in here. Give savory overnight oats a try! 3/4 cup oats, 3/4 cup chicken broth/bone broth/etc. Throw some chili crisp in with some green onions, maybe even a fried egg. Can’t go wrong.

    I am currently adding a fourth layer of poverty to the tiny home my greatgrandparents built a century ago. My whole family has cut their teeth in that house
