Overnight oats are the besttt. Especially this version. Back when I first discovered overnight oatmeal I would eat it almost every day and never grew tired of it. Since I don’t really eat as many oats or grains these days, I don’t eat them as often, but when I do I am in heaven. They’re delicious, but also so easy and perfect for someone that doesn’t want to make breakfast in morning. ME everyday. They’re also really healthy. All of my overnight oat recipes are gluten free, dairy free (depending on the milk you use) and high in healthy fats and fiber, which should keep you full and satisfied for most of the morning.
After refrigerating the milk, banana, frozen berries and oats overnight, I like to stir and add all the toppings when I’m ready to eat breakfast. I always add chia seeds and almond butter for extra fiber and healthy fats which help to keep your blood sugar stable as you digest the sugary banana, berries and oats.
If you aren’t in the mood for berries, try the pumpkin version. Tis the season!
