\u00a0Good morning!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Doesn’t this just look like a bowl of sunshine?<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve gotta tell you, I do love oatmeal. Overnight oats is fairly new to me…I’ve made it a bunch of times, but cold oats take some getting used to. This recipe, however, is fabulous…I adapted it from Kath Eats Real Food<\/a> and changed it for my own liking. She uses yogurt in hers (rather than lots of milk), and I prefer the pudding-like consistency. There’s cherry, coconut, and a nutty mixture of flavors that make for creamy, dreamy happiness. You put your oats and liquids in a bowl and let it sit in the fridge overnight; in the morning, you add any crunchy toppings (to prevent sogginess), stir, and enjoy! No cooking, no burning your tongue, and super quick! When I want to just stay in bed all morning, this is something I can look forward to…mornings are not my best time of day.<\/p>\n

Overnight Oats<\/b><\/span>
(adapted from KERF<\/a>)
*makes 2 servings (or one large)
1\/2 cup whole oats
1\/2 cup milk (I used almond)
1 yogurt cup (I used cherry vanilla)
1TB ground flax or 2 t chia seeds (optional)
1 TB shredded coconut
2 TB chopped pecans<\/p>\n

In a small bowl, combine oats, milk, and yogurt. Place in fridge overnight (an hour minimum, but 7 hours allows the oats to soak up the liquids better).<\/p>\n

In the morning, top with flax seed, coconut, and pecans. Stir. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Easy, right?<\/b><\/p>\n

Enjoy your Wednesday!!<\/p>\n

Happy eating! Laurel<\/div>\n
