During the week, I like to keep things nice and simple. That means my mornings need to be efficient because let’s face it, I like to get every little wink of sleep that I can get! I will prepare my overnight oats for 3 days which makes for a great grab and go in the morning. Usually around 10:00am every weekday, you will likely find me at my desk or in the classroom chowing down on these overnight oats. This has been my go-to for years and for good reason! They are easy and super delicious. A bonus is that oats are good for your heart, they control your blood sugar and are rich in magnesium.
The good thing about oatmeal is that you can play around with tons of toppings. The list is really endless: berries, nuts, flax seed, chia seeds, hemp hearts, coconut, cinnamon, or fruit. I get my rolled oats, which are both organic and Canadian (bonus!) from Highwood Crossing. You can check them out here: www.highwoodcrossing.com.
So, if you are looking for a quick, healthy and speedy breakfast…this might be just for you!
Enjoy,

Loading...Quick and easy overnight oats recipe! Play around with it as I usually just throw ingredients into a small bowl!
Ingredients
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup - Rolled or Steel Cut Oats
- 1/4 cup - Frozen or fresh fruit (I usually have blueberries or raspberries)
- 1-2 tbsp - Chia Seeds or Hemp Hearts
- Almond Milk
- *Instead of almond milk, you can substitute water or regular milk
Instructions
Combine all dry ingredients, fruit and toppings together in bowl.
Add just enough milk or water to reach the top of the oats but not cover them.
Stir until combined.
Leave in refrigerator overnight or they can be made the same morning (I have done both).
You can eat them cold however, I like to warm mine up in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds.
