What is overnight oats?

Overnight oats (OO) is basically oats soaked in the liquid of your choice. Either milk or yogurt, but you can always experiment with other kinds. It is often chilled overnight (hence the name) and usually left uncooked. However you can heat it up if you prefer to. It is perfect for days when you are in a rush to make breakfast, just make it in a jar the day before and it’s ready to go the next day. 

You can add any kinds of toppings you want to it. You can add fresh fruits, nuts, dried fruits, peanut butter, etc. Many people also add chia seeds to the overnight oats. Be adventurous and try new additions, you might be pleasantly surprised!

This is also good to put together with your kids, let them play around with their favorite toppings and learn more about fruits and nuts, etc. There’s no or minimal cooking involved, so it’s safe for them as well.

In the following list, there are several sites that provide the recipes for a basic overnight oatmeal, and if can continue from there if you want to create your own personal one-of-a-kind oatmeal. Have fun! Remember, healthy doesn’t mean boring or tasteless!

Banana ‘scramble’ with maple almond butter, pumpkin seeds and a kiwi.

The scramble is super easy - it’s a (ripe) mashed banana, 1 egg, a shake of cinnamon and 2 ~ish tbsps of ground almonds, whisked together then cooked in a little coconut oil. I tried to make gluten free pancakes but got bored waiting for them to cook and decided to mix it all up and it turned out like a mix between banana pancakes and scrambled eggs!

If you google ‘banana scramble’ other recipes will come up, I didn’t realise this was an actual thing, I thought I’d just messed up a pancake recipe! :P
