4 Overnight Oats Recipes That Will Change Your Life
If you take a look at my Instagram page, it’ll come as no surprise how much of a fan I am of overnight oats. Over the years, I have found the perfect base recipe that is completely customizable. I love how creative you can get with flavors and toppings by mixing in your favorite fruits, superfoods, nut butters, and even veggies if that floats your boat - anyone down for a zucchini bread or carrot cake flavor?!
Below you’ll find the base recipe along with 4 of my favorite flavor combos! Let me know in the comments which one(s) you would try or another flavor you think would be good!
Overnight Oats Base Recipe:

Simply mix all of the above ingredients + any add-ins you like in a bowl, transfer to a mason jar, and leave in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight.
