Overnight Oats

Overnight Oats will change your morning routine and give you and your family a great, healthy start to the day.

As a parent of two kids in school, I learned very quickly that the mornings can be filled with chaos, yelling and stress. And as a result, it’s SO easy to just grab a quick (a.k.a. unhealthy, sugary) breakfast and go.

This recipe gives you the ratios for the Overnight Oat base. Keep in mind that Overnight Oats are just a quick technique to getting some filling and healthy grains in in the morning. They can be topped with fresh or dried fruit, nuts or seeds.

As with all of our recipes, taste as you go & be creative. If you don’t love it, change it and try again!

Recipe Notes

Tips on Storage: My favorite thing about overnight oats is that you can pre-prep the dried ingredients. Get this...

• Get yourself 7-8 (or more) 4 oz. mason jars
• Fill each with the dry ingredients (rolled oats, cinnamon, chia seeds)
  • raisins and flax seeds could also be added at this point if you'd like
•  Store in your cabinet or dry storage until you're ready to add milk for the next day

How long does it keep?

• The dry ingredients will keep indefinitely as long as it's stored in an airtight container.
• Once milk is added, the oats will be good for about 5 days.
  • (Check for any sour smell as an indicator for going bad)
