Overnight Oats

Overnight Oats are SUCH a trendy breakfast right now.

Well, overnight oats and smoothie bowls.

If your feeds are anything like mine, you might scream if you see another picture of a perfectly styled smoothie bowl or overnight oat mason jar.

Because I felt like overnight oat recipes were saturating the Internet, I got super irritated, decided I didn’t like them, and ruled out ever making them. Even though I’d never even tasted even one overnight oat before.

(Maybe you can see where this is going…)

I was mostly worried that they would taste like cold mush and I couldn’t fathom eating oatmeal that wasn’t warm. But let me tell you, they do not taste like cold mush – they taste like creamy, healthy, simple deliciousness.

Overnight oats are quick to prep the night before and then in the morning – you can just grab your convenient mason jar from the fridge and breakfast is ready faster than you can say chia seeds.

The options for customizing your jar are endless – I love to use coconut or cashew milk instead of regular milk, add flax seeds, a drizzle or honey or maple syrup, fresh fruit, dried fruit, ground cinnamon, or chopped nuts…

This time I made 4 flavours:

• Peanut Butter and Jam (which J ate before I could photograph!)
• Peanut Butter and Banana
• Pumpkin Spice
• Coconut
