Overnight oats is a quick and simple breakfast that you can prepare the night before! It is ideal for those who struggle to get out of bed (me) or who don’t have time in the morning to prepare breakfast. Pop the oats in a lidded jar so you can have it on your way to work or school! The chia seeds make the oats super creamy without having to stand at the stove like cooking traditional porridge.
