    What are rice flakes?

    Rice flakes are made when rice is partly cooked by boiling. Then the rice is flattened into dry flakes.

    There are a many different kinds of rice flakes. From brown rice flakes, white rice flakes, and even black rice flakes.

    Any kind of rice flakes can be used for this overnight rice recipe.

    Rice flakes can be used for cereals, snacks, or even as a dessert.

    The reason rice flakes work so well in this recipe is because they are dry.

    When you leave the rice flakes in liquid, such as milk and yogurt, overnight, the rice flakes absorb the liquid and become soft.

    What makes this different from overnight oats?

    The way you make overnight rice flakes is the same way that you make overnight oats. Both recipes are super simple to make.

    The only difference between the two is one uses oats, while the other uses rice flakes.

    As with overnight oats, you can make any flavor combination you want.

    For example, you could serve your overnight rice flakes with fresh fruit or even top it with yoghurt and honey.

    Unlike overnight oats, overnight rice flakes taste the best on the day it is ready to eat (overnight).

    If you leave the rice flakes any longer, they start to become dry and do not have a very pleasant texture.
