Learn how to make protein-packed overnight oats using Kodiak Honey Oat Granola for a crunchy, no-cook breakfast you can prep the night before.
Quick answer
You can make overnight oats with Kodiak Honey Oat Granola by layering it with milk and yogurt, then letting it soak in the fridge for at least 4 hours. The granola adds a satisfying crunch and a sweet honey flavor without extra sugar.
Why use granola instead of rolled oats
Kodiak Honey Oat Granola is already toasted and sweetened, so it softens just enough in the fridge without turning mushy. This gives your overnight oats a texture that regular rolled oats can't match—think tender oats with a slight crunch, not a bowl of paste.
The trade-off is that granola absorbs liquid faster than raw oats. If you let it sit longer than 12 hours, it can become too soft. Stick to a 4- to 8-hour soak for the best bite.
How to make overnight oats with Kodiak Honey Oat Granola
- Combine the base ingredients: In a jar or container with a lid, mix 1/2 cup of Kodiak Honey Oat Granola with 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based) and 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt. Stir gently to coat the granola. Don't over-stir or the granola will break into smaller pieces and lose its crunch.
- Add flavor boosters (optional): Fold in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber, a pinch of cinnamon, or a handful of fresh berries. Chia seeds will thicken the mixture as they absorb liquid. If you add chia seeds, reduce the milk by 2 tablespoons to keep the right consistency.
- Seal and refrigerate: Close the lid tightly and shake the jar gently to distribute the liquid. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight (up to 8 hours). Do not leave it longer than 12 hours—the granola will become too soft and lose its texture.
- Serve and add toppings: Remove the jar from the fridge, give it a stir, and top with a fresh sprinkle of Kodiak Honey Oat Granola for crunch, plus a drizzle of honey or sliced banana. The fresh granola on top is key—it restores the crunch that the soaked layer lost.
