Coffee Cake Overnight Oats

Nikki — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 15:00:28 +0000

Mornings can be crazy and hectic, so the last thing anyone has time for is a breakfast that takes more than 10 minutes to prepare. That’s when grab-and-go foods become our breakfast, and unfortunately they aren’t usually the healthiest options. One quick idea that is time-saving, healthy, and will definitely satisfy and sustain you are overnight oats. Overnight oats are basically a no-cook method of making oatmeal prepared usually the night before. “When soaked overnight, the starch present in the oats is naturally broken down and more nutrients are absorbed by the oats through the period of soaking, the acid present in the oats also breaks down overnight and this results in better digestion.” If you like overnight oats or haven’t ever tried them, you will want to try this next recipe. Coffee Cake Overnight Oats is a cup of Joe and cinnamon coffee cake all rolled up into one meal. It’s the best of both worlds!!
