Cinnamon Apple Overnight N’Oats
Oats are one of those foods that people believe to be healthy, yet many struggle with the grain, and the despite the protein, it doesn’t always keep you full or on your game. But sometimes I just don’t want eggs for breakfast. And if I did eat oats, I don’t want to cook them!
This recipe is based on my Pumpkin Porridge recipe that I posted back in the fall. I didn’t feel like cooking it, ans with the porridge, so I allowed the nuts and seeds absorb the liquid overnight in the fridge and it worked beautifully. You don’t have to add the protein powder but if you’re plant-based, I like to recommend adding some extra protein to your first-morning meal. Comment below if you try it, I love your feedback!
