How Long Will Overnight Oats Last in the Fridge?

Overnight oats without fruit will last around 5 days in the refrigerator in airtight containers. Now for these raspberry overnight oats with fruit, I prefer to consume them within 2-3 days of preparation. To get around this you can always add the fruit the morning you plan on consuming it, or if you’re using frozen berries do it the night before.

Do I Have to Soak the Overnight Oats Overnight?

No, you don't have to soak the oats overnight but that does give the oats more time to soften and thicken up for a creamy texture. They do need to be soaked for at least 2-3 hours for the oats to soften.

Instructions

Mash raspberries at the bottom of the jar, and add 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice if you want to preserve the color. If using frozen raspberries slightly thaw before mashing, then add 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Then add the oats, milk, almond butter, ground flaxseed, syrup, and vanilla extract to the raspberries.
Stir everything to combine.
Let it sit covered in the fridge for 2-3 hours or overnight to thicken up.
Store for 2-3 days.

Notes

I prefer to consume overnight oats that are made with fruit within 2-3 days. If you want them to last for around five days, wait on adding the raspberries until the night before consuming, or if using fresh berries they can be added the next morning. If using frozen berries, they can be added to the top of the already made oats the night before. They’ll thaw overnight, then stir them in the next morning.
