    I love the idea of having a large amount of dry overnight oats mix on hand. I opted out of the cocoa powder but did throw in some chocolate protein powder. I also prefer more liquid in my overnight oats, so will increase that measure a bit until I find a more perfect ratio.

    Way too much cocoa powder. I would try these again without any at all. Will rate it after then.

    Yummy! Made a smaller batch. Used coconutmilk and dried fig pieces for first try. Excited to try other combinations!

    I made a half recipe about 6 weeks ago and wasn’t sure what I thought. The verdict - they are a chore to eat and just not very good. I used the cocoa powder and they would be even more blah without it. They are better with a sprinkle of salt before mixing. They need jam, maple syrup or something sweet as the mix contains no sweetener. Love the granola recipe, but this one I won’t make again.

    I have been wanting to try overnight oat and I trust McFadden so tried this version first. I was pleasantly surprised and am excited to explore different flavor combinations. I had these with dried bananas and added maple syrup and a few spoonfuls of [NYT/genius recipe] granola to it. I loved the texture and flavors together. My husband was not a fan but I think the chewy banana was his main complaint. I'll encourage him to try other combinations to see if he likes it more.

    These are grin-inducingly great. I made the base recipe + cocoa powder w/ coconut water with a bit of coconut cream for the liquid. I'm not sure that this added much and will likely use milk or nut milks next time. I added figs and banana for the dried component during the overnight soak. Then topped with cherry jam, labne, and sesame seeds and pecans. Cannot wait to eat these more regularly with different components. I have since made these with tahini and pecans. As well as milk, passion fruit butter, and berries. Tomorrow it will be passion fruit, dragon fruit, and mangoes. All attempts have been superb and make the dish varied and interesting from day to day.
