I knew I had a busy week coming up this week, prepping for Canadian Thanksgiving weekend at our bakery (making oh so many pies, my back & wrists hurt!) so I prepped lots of overnight oats for easy grab n go breakfasts to make sure I was getting a good protein-packed start to my day.
Here's three of them:
(Protein) Cookie Dough
Layered Tiramisu
Walnut Banana Bread
Below are the basic recipes for them, but for full steps/details, you can check out our YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/NutUWskaIvY
OVERNIGHT OATS - basic recipe
1/2c old fashioned rolled oats
1/2c milk of choice
1tbsp chia seeds or ground flax
1tbsp syrup or honey or sweetener of choice
1/4c yogurt of choice
Combine everything in a container or jar, seal and refridgerate overnight. The next day you can simply grab your container and a spoon and toss them in your bag for later, or scoop it into a bowl, and add some fun toppings!
These are so easy (less than 2 minutes to put together!!) and endlessly customizable. Below are just three ways to get your creative juices flowing, so you can come up with your own delicious overnight oat combos!
NOTE: if you don't like or can't eat oats or are following a low-carb/keto lifestyle, check out our n'oat oatmeal recipe - I actually make this one even more often than overnight oats. It doesn't look pretty, but it's super satisfying, and keeps me full until late afternoon. https://www.mindfulbakehouse.com/post/5-minute-no-oat-oatmeal
