First Recipe! Overnight Oats

Vanilla Peach Overnight Oats 


I have been making Overnight Oats for about 6 months now. My boyfriend calls them #MagicOats because he doesn't know how I can make 'oatmeal' without any cooking involved. If you haven't heard of overnight oats, stop what you are doing and make them right now! 

This time around, I decided to keep it simple & seasonal, using peaches from the local farmer's market. Feel free to use any and all variations of fruit/nuts/and spices! Feel free to share you variations below!

Note: These oats are great for on-the-go-breakfasts. They are healthy, filling, satisfying and downright delicious!

Ingredients:

1 cup rolled oats (I get mine at Trader Joe's)

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 peach, cut up into small pieces

1 container of Vanilla Greek yogurt 

Instructions
1.  In a large bowl or container, combine all ingredients, oats, milk, and fruit.  Place in a mason jar or any sealed container.
2.  The following morning, or at least two hours later, scoop out soaked oats into desired portions. I usually just eat it right out of the jar! 

3. If you'd like, add sweetener according to taste such as agave syrup, honey, maple syrup, or sugar/brown sugar. 
4. Garnish with desired toppings and serve. (garnish ideas: additional fruit, almonds, coconut, granola)

The final result-a delicious & easy breakfast topped with cinnamon, drizzed honey & some dried orange cherries from Trader Joe's
