The cooler weather might have you craving something a little more cosy. The good news, our overnight oats can be enjoyed both cold and warm. Heat them up or turn them into baked oats (aka. cake for breakfast).
Can I heat my overnight oats?
Absolutely.
Simply add milk and microwave for around 60 seconds for a creamy porridge consistency. Add an extra splash of milk as needed, then finish with your favourite toppings.
You can even bake them in the oven! The result is similar to cake, but with added nourishment and the convenience of a breakfast that’s already prepared and waiting for you.
Is there a nutritional difference?
Whether you enjoy your overnight oats cold from the fridge, warmed up in the microwave or baked in the oven, you’re still getting all the goodness that makes them such a great breakfast option.
Made Monday overnight oats combine wholegrain oats, chia seeds and plant protein to create a balanced breakfast that’s high in protein, rich in fibre and designed to keep you feeling satisfied all morning.
Heating them won’t impact these benefits, so it really comes down to personal preference.
Hot or cold: which is better?
The answer is simple, whichever helps you stay consistent!
Some people love a cold, grab-and-go breakfast all year round. Others prefer something warm and cosy, especially during winter.
The beauty of Made Monday is that you don’t have to choose. Enjoy it straight from the fridge on busy mornings or warm it up when you’re craving something comforting.
