Overnight Oats
Overnight oats is a dish Jack has been loving since he was a baby! It’s easy to put together, and makes for a quick breakfast in the morning since most of the work has been done the night before.
You can experiment with your mix-in’s, but our go-to’s are usually chia seeds, hemp seeds and cinnamon. Plus some pure maple syrup, fruit, and almond butter as a topping.
The recipe below is good for 3 servings (Jack, my husband and I all eat this). Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
Note: Place in a jar that has room at the top once all the ingredients are added.
Ingredients
3, 1/3 cup scoops of whole rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
A few dashes of cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Oat milk or almond milk
Pure maple syrup
Instructions
