Tips for the Best Folgers Coffee Overnight Oats

To ensure your overnight oats turn out perfectly every time, follow these simple tips. First, always use rolled oats instead of instant oats—they hold their texture better and absorb liquid without turning mushy. Second, adjust the coffee strength to your liking: start with 1 teaspoon of instant coffee per serving and increase gradually.

If you prefer using brewed coffee, substitute half of the milk with cooled Folgers coffee. This works especially well with ground coffee varieties like Folgers Black Silk Dark Roast Coffee. Finally, don’t skip the pinch of salt—it enhances all the flavors and balances the sweetness.

• Store in airtight containers for up to 5 days
• Add toppings just before serving to keep them crunchy
