This might be the easiest most versatile recipe I have ever given you. Overnight oats, plus 4 ingredients and a grab-it-out-of-the-fridge situation meets all your “I’m in a hurry” needs. You can literally put whatever fruit or nuts you want to on top. Just keep the oats to milk ratio the same. Don’t drink milk? Switch it up to almond or soy. You pick. It’s downright delicious and too easy for words. Your kids will thank you.
Plus who doesn’t want an excuse to buy these cute little half-pint mason jars?
