In short
Overnight oats are made by stirring oats with plant milk and chia seeds in a jar and chilling it for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight. One serving needs about 40 g of rolled oats, 180 ml of milk and a tablespoon of chia seeds. No cooking is required; in the morning, add fruit and nuts and eat it cold.

Frequently asked questions
How long do overnight oats last in the fridge?
Usually 3–4 days in a sealed jar. Add fruit and nuts just before eating so the texture and freshness hold up longer.
What can you use instead of plant milk in overnight oats?
Almond, soy or oat milk work, as do cow's milk or milk mixed with a little plain yogurt. Yogurt makes the texture creamier; if it gets too thick, loosen it with milk or water.
Which oats are best for overnight oats?
Rolled (old-fashioned) oats give the best texture. Quick or instant oats turn softer and mushier, while steel-cut oats stay quite chewy after a single night.
Can I change the list?
Of course. The ready-made list is just a starting point: delete, add, move items between categories.
Do I need an account?
No. A room code is all it takes — no email, password or signup.
How long is the list kept?
As long as you use it. A list is only deleted after a month without any activity; even opening the room resets the clock.
Can I install it on my phone?
Yes. With the room open, tap "Save Room" to add it to your home screen and open it with one tap.
