Overnight oats have been all the rage for a while, but we were slow to get on board because Mel usually doesn't love hot oatmeal after a few bites. But during a quest for healthier, heartier breakfast options, we decided to give them a whirl and fell in love!
There are a bazillion recipe ideas for overnight oats if you use "The Google."
Over time, this has become the combination we make most regularly:
- 1 cup oats
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 fresh mini banana, sliced
- 1 spoonful of Trader Joe's Mixed Nut Butter
- 1 spoonful of honey
Then:
- Put all the ingredients into mason jar.
- Pour milk of your choice until everything is submerged.
- Cover jar tightly and shake vigorously to mix all the ingredients.
- Place in fridge overnight.
In the morning, you will find a jar full of deliciousness! If the oats are still a little dry, you can always add more milk. Some people heat the oats up a bit, but we actually enjoy them cold. One jar usually yields about two servings (unless you're super hungry).
With a topping of fresh fruit - our usual being blueberries - this is a delightful breakfast that leaves us feeling healthy and energized at the start of the day.
