Overnight Oats. Probably the recipe I get asked most frequently for.
But I definitely see why. With the hectic schedules we are all on, a very simple, delicious breakfast like overnight oats just makes sense! The best part about it? It’s all made the night before, so when you wake up, there is absolutely no work involved! Easy enough? I think so.
How do you go about making overnight oats? Basically, it is usually just a ratio of milk, oats, and yogurt combined together in a jar, and set aside in the refrigerator throughout the night until the morning. No cooking involved! But see, the best thing about overnight oats, is that they are completely customizable. What I listed above is just the base ingredients, but now it is up to your imagination and taste buds to decide what else to add to make your own heavenly breakfast.
You can keep it simple with only a few ingredients, and then add tasty onhealthy adderall toppings, or you can mix in desired foods to add flavor in the mix throughout the night as it sits. Here is just one variety of overnight oats that I made this morning 🙂
