OK, if you know me, you know I absolutely love food...and DIYing. This is a perfect combination, especially for those of you like me who are constantly on the go with school, work, social gatherings, ect. What makes this even more perfect is the fact that it makes breakfast fun again! Remember when you were little and the sight of colored cereal or syrupy pancakes would just blow your mind? Well, here are some simple "Overnight Oats" recipes that are sure to restore your faith in brekafast!

Note: Most of these recipes count for two servings. Double up the ingredients to share with some friends!

First, here’s a basic formula, from Food52, to follow when making your own overnight oats:

1. First, mix rolled oats with an equal amount of your liquid of choice. You can use any combination of dairy or non-dairy milk, yogurt, or even juice; just stick with the same basic 1:1 ratio. If you’re using steel cut oats instead, use more liquid and be prepared to do some chewing.

2. Mix any spices, sweeteners, or dried fruit you like into the oats and milk.

3. Store in a glass jar or another airtight container and let the oats soak for at least three hours, ideally overnight. A nifty breakfast hack to try: Mix the oats in a nearly-empty peanut (or almond) butter jar.

4. In the morning, you can add fresh fruit, nuts, and other favorite toppings to your oatmeal.
