Overnight oats are one of our go-to breakfasts when we want something to keep us feeling satisfied for hours. This nutritious meal is loaded with vitamins, protein, and fiber, for a healthy start to your day. While there’s nothing wrong with the basic recipe which calls for rolled oats that have been milk-soaked overnight, these five additions make overnight oats even more delicious.

Nuts and Seeds

Add some crunch to overnight oats with pecans, granola, and chia seeds. You’ll get a burst of flavor and texture in every bite.

Fruits

When it comes to fruits, you can’t go wrong by adding dried ones like raisins, cranberries, apricots, or fresh ones like bananas, raspberries, strawberries, and pineapple.

Chocolate

Chocolate makes everything taste better and a bit of dark chocolate goes a long way in oats. Try replacing the milk with chocolate milk or tossing in some dark chocolate chips on top of the oats.

Spices

Get creative with spices by adding cinnamon, nutmeg, chia, or cardamom to your oats.

Protein Powder

Add a boost of protein to your oats with protein powder. This combination will keep you full for longer.
