I absolutely have to have a hearty breakfast every morning, so my overnight oats are a great solution. In a mason jar, these oats travel well to the office and only take a few minutes to make.
These overnight oats are easy to prep on a Sunday for a week of delicious, healthy, and filling breakfast treats.
Flavor ideas:
- Cherry Berry: Use a small scoop of cherry preserves and fresh blueberries, topped with a drizzle of honey.
- PB+J: Add in a tablespoon of a nut butter and a tablespoon of a low-sugar jam or preservers for a PB+J oat jar.
- Maple Pumpkin: Swap the honey for real maple syrup, and use a scoop of pumpkin puree.
Recipe yields 4-5 mason jar overnight oats
