Loaded Overnight Oats
You probably read the title like woahhh “loaded” overnight oats…what does that mean?! Lemme tell ya, it means they’re loaded with tons of nutrients and goodies that’ll fill you up!
Overnight oats are typically oats soaked in a liquid like non-dairy milk. When you soak them overnight, it allows the oats to plump up similar to how they would if you cooked them on the stove. It’s a SUPER easy no-bake way to make a delicious, filling breakfast.
These overnight oats were highly requested by Ed. And don’t ever believe a man when they say they don’t have a sweet tooth. They’re lying. So these Loaded Overnight Oats have a hint of maple syrup to give them a little sweetness. Not to be biased, but this is the best way to start your day! Pair with a yummy coffee and you’re good to go!
