If you’ve never tried overnight oatmeal, you are in for a treat! Overnight oats give you the convenience of a quick, no-cook breakfast with a little evening prep work, but they also give you a delightful, thicker version of oatmeal that’s much more dessert-like.
All you have to do is soak your favorite oats overnight in a container (glass works great) with your preferred milk (cow’s, almond, coconut, etc.). You can also use yogurt or another dairy/dairy alternative product if you prefer. I’ve never used ricotta but I’ve used it in warm oatmeal and I bet it would work well, too. Mix both up and add in any fruit, honey, chia or flax seed or any other ingredients you like, then store it in the fridge for a fast, easy-to-spoon morning breakfast that packs a powerful punch!
You can add fruit in your oatmeal but don’t add any crunchy toppings until you serve it since that will just make it soggy. What is your favorite oatmeal recipe?
