HOW TO MAKE IT
You should try preparing overnight oats if you’re constantly rushing and wind up skipping breakfast as a result. They are prepared the night before so that you may just grab and go in the morning, in case the name didn’t already give it away. Given that it only requires ten minutes of preparation, this may be the easiest breakfast you have ever made. The most difficult part is having to wait all night for everything to be ready, but if you prepare it the night before, it will be ready when you wake up and simply need to open the refrigerator!
THE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED:
- Old-fashioned rolled oats
- Milk of choice (almond, oat, 2% milk)
- Brown sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Cinnamon
To thicken overnight, simply put all the ingredients in a jar or other container you have, seal it, and place it in the refrigerator. Wait at least four hours, or until the oats have absorbed the majority of the milk if you are unable to wait overnight. Feel free to change the amount of milk to suit your preference for thin or thick overnight oats.
You can also add one or both of the following to increase the protein content:
- Greek yogurt
- Protein powder
- Collagen peptides
Add one to two teaspoons of chia seeds for additional fiber!
When the oats are ready in the morning, simply remove them from the refrigerator and garnish them with a little bit of cinnamon and sweet cream cheese frosting if desired to resemble a cinnamon roll! All you have to do is mix cream cheese, milk, powdered sugar, and unsalted butter at room temperature.
