Taylor Nadauld | Crumbs
We’re a month into the semester, and classes, homework, jobs and extracurriculars are in full swing — for many students, myself included, that can seriously add up to zero free time.
Last night, as I was becoming desperate to find a way to do what I love AND eat, I happened upon a lifesaving gem of a breakfast called “overnight oats.”
Long story short, as an oatmeal-lover, I tested it out for myself and this is what I got (spoiler alert — it worked).
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oats
- About 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup fruit
- Any other flavoring you want (maple syrup, brown sugar, etc.)
- Optional granola for crunch
- Spoon
- Any container with a lid
Tips:
- Add less milk for a thicker texture; more for a thinner texture
- Frozen fruit keeps longer
Directions
- Mix all the ingredients into your container and cap the lid
- Pop it in the fridge before you go to bed
- Wake up in the morning with a dreadful feeling of almost being late and still having to cook breakfast
- Remember your breakfast is already waiting for you in the fridge, breathe a sigh of relief, and enjoy
