Overnight oats are one of my favorite breakfasts! There are so many options and variations. Below are a few of my favorites to give you some ideas, but don't be afraid to get creative with them!
For example, instead of using 1/2 cup of plain quick oats, you can always use a packet of flavored instant oats! You could even try a flavor of Greek yogurt other than the one I suggest in the recipe or change up the fruits. The variations are limitless!
I gave some suggestions for toppings, too, but you can really add whatever toppings you want! In my opinion, you can never go wrong with adding more toppings before you eat overnight oats - the more, the merrier - especially when they are nut butters, fruit, and granola for a little crunch!
Also, here's a little tip: make your overnight oats in a jar of nut butter that has about 2 to 4 tbsp. left in it... you can thank me later.
