These easy overnight oats are perfect for hectic mornings and do not involve any cooking. A healthy, filling, and delicious breakfast to kick-start your mornings.
I was always hesitant in making overnight oats as we do not cook them in these types of recipes. This means oats would be raw, and I was a bit reluctant to try out the raw oats. But then I discovered oven-toasted oats in Trader's Joe which I liked, and I did not feel any of its raw flavor at all. Therefore, I decided to give them a try. No wonder these are so popular--they are simply delicious, nutritious, and filling.
I like such recipes that I can prep ahead of time using the simple and healthy ingredients for those busy mornings. And overnight oats are just perfect!
