One of my favorite breakfasts is overnight oats. I can easily make them the night before and leave them in the fridge until morning. I always add peanut butter and banana to my oats and top them with blueberries, chopped nuts, dried cranberries, and chocolate chips. This is a healthy and filling breakfast that saves me time in the morning. I can even make a whole week’s worth of oats in one evening. Winner!
Ingredients:
- old-fashioned oats
- almond milk
- peanut butter
- vanilla
- brown or coconut sugar
- flax seeds
- toppings of your choice

Are overnight oats healthy?
Absolutely! Oats have fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, and are naturally gluten-free. Since we are using almond milk, this is a dairy-free breakfast.
Do you serve them hot or cold?
I prefer my overnight oats served cold, but you can easily heat them up in the microwave.
Can I use quick-cooking oats to make this?
I recommend old-fashioned oats because they produce the best texture. Quick-cooking oats can turn into mush.
