    These Overnight Oats take five minutes and only a handful of ingredients to make. It's just too darn easy not to prepare this for your weekday breakfast. They're not complicated and very quick to put together. Perfect for your busy life!

    Quick and Easy Weekday Breakfast

    Recently, I started making a variation of this quick breakfast for myself, too. The great thing about these overnight oats is that not only do they come together in a snap, but they are entirely customizable.

    For myself, I use almond or flax milk and non-dairy yogurt instead of the regular cow's milk and low fat dairy yogurt.

    And, I use literally whatever fruit I have on hand to mix in. Sometimes it's strawberries and blueberries, other times it's mango or banana, and sometimes, if I am completely out of fresh fruit (I'll admit, I avoid making trips to the grocery store if I can avoid it!), I use homemade applesauce.

    For those of you who don't live in a nut-free home like we do, a scoop of nut butter would go perfectly in here as well.

    I typically make a couple of jars of these at a time. Each jar makes one really large serving. My husband typically eats half a jar each morning and grabs a hard boiled egg or two as well. Perfect, easy, quick, and delicious breakfast!

    To keep this gluten-free, I use gluten-free oats, but regular old fashioned oats would work just as well. I also add in a small scoop of chia seeds.

    They don't have a taste, but do add some additional texture to the oats. Feel free to leave 'em out or substitute for flax seeds.

      This is a wonderful recipe! I made it without maple syrup though, because I think that the sweetness of the fruits were enough, but this is such an easy recipe, and it tastes great!

        Wonderful! Yes, I agree the sweetness level is dependent upon how ripe your fruit is and how sweet you like your breakfast. Glad you could find exactly what you like!
