- Adjust sweetness by experimenting with honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sweetener.
Storage
Store the assembled overnight oats in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. This makes them ideal for meal prep. Before serving, you can give it a quick stir or add a little extra milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. No reheating is necessary—serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

FAQs
Can I use regular brewed coffee instead of instant coffee?
Yes, brewed coffee or espresso works well in this recipe and can deepen the coffee flavor. Just ensure it’s cooled before mixing with the oats.
