Over 70% of people prefer a creamy texture for their overnight oats, which is why many recipes recommend milk over water. However, the idea that you can't use water with oats overnight is a common misconception, often based on taste and texture preferences rather than any hard and fast rule. While water will soften the oats, it results in a less flavorful and sometimes thinner or slimier consistency compared to dairy or alternative milks.
