Overnight Oats

This easy overnight oats recipe is so awesome and perfect for a quick breakfast on the go.

If you are like me you don’t always have a lot of time in the morning to make breakfast. Maybe you make do with a piece of toast, pop tarts, day-old leftover pizza, or a bowl of cold cereal.

Or do you skip breakfast altogether? Lately, I have been on a healthy smoothie kick but once in a while, I like to mix it up a bit with some bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns, crepes, cinnamon rolls, or for something really quick and healthy like overnight oats.

Oatmeal is a tried and true breakfast staple for many people in the United States and worldwide. I have heard countless stories where someone’s grandparent ate a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast every day.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats 50g
• 1 tbsp. white granulated sugar 15g
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 2g
• pinch of salt less than 1g
• 1 cup whole milk 1%, 2%, Almond Milk, Coconut Milk, Water, etc.
• Strawberries Blueberries, Blackberries, Raisins, Chia Seeds, Nuts, etc.

Instructions

Place the old-fashioned rolled oats in a jar or bowl. Then add the sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Mix them together with a spoon or fork.

Pour in your choice of liquid, milk, water, almond milk, etc. are all good choices. Give the oats a stir.

Add any fruit and nuts that you would like. 1/2 cup is a decent amount of fruit, you could use all of one kind of a variety. I like to use all of one and then top it off when another kind when I am ready to eat it.

Secure the lid on top of the jar or add a plastic wrap to the bowl and place it in the fridge overnight.

The next morning it will be ready to eat. Top it off with whatever else you like and enjoy! It is really that simple.
