The best thing is you don’t have to cook overnight oats! They need to soak for at least 2 hours, but the longer they soak, the creamier they will be! - Why add seeds:
Chia and flax seeds absorb moisture to make the final product more creamy. These seeds contain healthy omega-3 and, like oats, they will add fibre and protein to your breakfast.
