Learn how to make overnight oats for a convenient and customizable healthy breakfast. Rolled oats soak in your choice of dairy product while in the refrigerator until the grains are softened. Then top it with your favorite combination of fruits, nuts, and sweeteners.
The popularity of overnight oats is on the rise
The moment you wake up, your body needs nourishment. To quickly energize your morning, have a batch of overnight oats ready to start your day. Oats are a source of healthy carbohydrates that can be prepared in various ways. Typically oats are cooked in the microwave, boiled, slow cooker, or instant pot and eaten immediately.
However, this recipe requires no cooking! Pour, stir, and let the whole grains sit until the next morning. Allowing the grains to hydrate over several hours makes the flakes tender enough to eat. You can also mix in any toppings, spices, and nutritional boosters that you can dream up. Make a batch for the entire week so you can grab and go!
