Breakfast with overnight oats, some have been doing it for years and for some it is still completely new. What are his overnight oats? The name says it all. Overnight oats are oats that have been left in the refrigerator overnight, which gives the oats time to soak in the (vegetable) milk. This gives the oatmeal a different structure than if you heat it in a pan. You prepare it the night before and that saves time in the morning. Finish your overnight oats with all kinds of different toppings. Read here which ingredients you should use to finish your overnight oats.
