First, let’s talk about Overnight Oats!
Typically, they are called this because you combine all the ingredients and let sit in the fridge overnight, so in the morning they are ready to eat, no cooking required! This also helps to marinate the flavors. Just be careful with what ingredients you combine, as some can become “soggy” quicker than others.
