When it comes to grains, oats are in a league all their own. They are inexpensive, easily accessible, and versatile, working well with both sweet and savory ingredients. Which makes this Double Berry Swiss Oatmeal a breakfast staple!
And while oats only have a Nutrivore Score of 208, the overall Nutrivore Score of this Double Berry Swiss Oatmeal is upped by the addition of dried mulberries and currants, as well as fresh mixed berries!
Bonus: this rendition of overnight oats can be made the night before so your breakfast is waiting for you in the refrigerator when you’re ready to eat in the morning. Score!

Hello,
I see water/milk listed as an ingredient but I don’t see where to use it in the recipe. Am I overlooking it in the recipe? Thanks

Hi!
This looks great. Will it keep to eat over two days? Or is it best to eat fresh the next morning?
Thanks!

I’ve let this go for three days and it’s still great!
