What we love about this recipe
- Made for batch cooking – we get it, mornings are not for everyone! So all you have to do is grab some Tupperware, give yourself half an hour on a Sunday, and you can sort your breakfast for the week! Nice one.
- Customisable – while we love these with pecans and raspberries, you can make it your own! Think of different fruits and flavours you like. Bonus points if you can make your toppings seasonal.
- Give yourself variety – sometimes when you’re on a healthy eating journey, you might find yourself eating the same thing a lot. But with these overnight oats, you can mix it up. What works for you one week might not work the next, so don’t be afraid to experiment with flavours.
