Here is the best Oats Breakfast Recipe
I absolutely love cherries!
They’re large, plump and juicy – depending on the country you find them in.
India has pretty tiny ones where it almost kills me to pit them, but it’s still worth it.
One of the best things about overnight oats is that you’re not slaving over a hot stove and in the summer heat these one cup wonders are an absolute hit.
You don’t need to only eat them for breakfast, any time of day would work as they’re so satisfying.
In this recipe I call for a mix of oats, quinoa and flax seeds as the base. I usually just mix up a big batch of this by dumping everything in a huge jar and shaking it up. Then I just scoop as needed.
Add in a little extra chocolate chips or a chocolate sauce drizzle and the kiddos love it too.
