Some mornings, quickly throwing something in your bag for breakfast is all there’s time for before heading out the door. We’ve all been there – but that doesn’t mean your breakfast can’t be filling and nutritious!
Overnight oats have been finding their way into more people’s fridges over the year – and for good reason! It’s a great way to have a delicious breakfast, without having to do much prepping in the morning. In fact, it can all be done before bedtime the night before.

A warning to chocolate lovers: you’ll be scraping the bottom of the jar before you know it and wishing you had more! Lucky for you, whipping up these Chunky Overnight Oats only takes a few minutes.
