When I think of a quick, easy breakfast option, there aren’t many less time consuming than overnight oats!
A little preparation the night before, and you can have seemingly limitless varieties the next morning.🙌🙌💯
In a pinch, this is my go to breakfast option as well!

Sure, there are some basic techniques, but once you have those down, a whole world of posssibilites opens up!
You can see the video and written recipes below!
