What Are Overnight Oats?

Overnight oats are simply oats soaked in liquid (usually milk or a milk alternative) overnight in the refrigerator. This soaking process softens the oats, making them ready to eat by morning without any cooking. The result is a creamy, satisfying breakfast that you can enjoy cold or warmed up.

Banana Chocolate Overnight Oats Recipe:

• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 banana
• 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa or 1 tbsp Nutella
