They're ready for you to grab and go!
Getting the whole family out of the house in the morning is no easy feat—and making a healthy breakfast on top of that can be even harder. So, if you're looking for a solution that keeps your family healthy, happy, and (yes) full, why not try overnight oats. "I have never been a huge hot oatmeal fan... but overnight oats right out of the fridge? Yes!" Ree Drummond says. Of course, we know Ree is a big fan of make-ahead breakfasts like baked oatmeal recipes. Luckily, all of these overnight oats recipes would fit right in to the make-ahead category.
So, how do you make overnight oats? It's simple! Just combine rolled oats with your liquid of choice before bed and let it sit overnight. Come morning, you'll have soft, chilled, oats that are ready for doctoring up. And that's the best part about overnight oats: you can customize them with your favorite mix-ins. Top them with fresh berries, diced apples, nuts, raisins, or other dried fruits. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness. You can get as creative as you want! Just look at the recipe for cookie dough overnight oats or the peanut butter and jelly oats that your kids will love, too. Then again, you can always go for the gingerbread oats—they're perfect for a Christmas brunch. With all these creative ideas for breakfast, you'll have plenty of options to try!
