I cannot tell you the number of times I have seen people talking about overnight oats – Pinterest, friends, Facebook, my virtual boot camp, you name it…they are hyping those bad boys up to be super easy and delicious.  But I gotta tell you, I was kind of a skeptic, lol!

I’m not really sure why other than to say the thought of putting oats in the fridge overnight and them magically not tasting like cardboard the next day seemed a little farfetched to me.  #justkeepingitreal

But…..how was I ever going to know if I didn’t give them a whirl?  And let’s be honest, not a lot is lost if they turn out like poo and this girl can always eat eggs!  Actually, that is just what I did since I decided to make Sienna the guinea pig of the overnight oats experiment.  Yep, that happened! Good news though – both my eggs and her oats were delicious, we even swapped meals halfway through….and by swapped I mean I basically took them from her and gave her my eggs…..

Anyway, the verdict is in and our oats recipe is a keeper!  Super simple to make and the perfect grab and go meal for really any time of the day.  Hope you enjoy as much as we did.
