Problems You Face While Making Frozen Fruits Overnight Oats:
- Frozen fruits produce an excess of liquid as the fruits melt so, your overnight oats will be wetter and soggy than normal oats made with fresh fruits.
- Frozen fruits especially strawberries and raspberries lose their texture when they melt. As a result, these fruits will disintegrate when you mix your overnight oats.
Tips For Frozen Fruit Overnight Oats:
Well, I have a perfect solution for these problems:
- Just reduce the liquid by 2 tsp for every ¼ cup of frozen fruit in your overnight rolled oats.
- Similarly, reduce 1/8 cup plus 2 tsp (3 tbsp) for 1 cup of frozen fruit
- Reducing the liquid will keep the texture and moisture level of your final overnight oats the same.
- Just remember that reduce the liquid that makes the bulk of the recipe. For instance, your main ingredients in the overnight oats are oats and milk but you are also using a little amount of vanilla extract and yogurt. Just reduce the amount of milk, do not reduce the vanilla or yogurt quantity as they are beneficial and give your oats a perfect enriching and flavoring texture. also, yogurt is a good source of antioxidants.
