Here at HerFamily HQ we spend a lot of time talking about food. Like, a LOT of time. This week the convo has been mostly dominated by oats.
More specifically, how to get oats into us in order to benefit from their low calorie, cholesterol-lowering, blood-sugar leveling goodness.
The obvious answer is porridge, but as the mornings grow brighter and the evenings longer, this winter staple seems a little out of place.
The answer? Overnight oats.
If you've never had overnight oats, this little collection could well change your life. They're fast, delicious, convenient and easy to take with you for devouring in the car or at your desk. Mix in the right ingredients and the kids will love them too.
Brownie Batter Swirl Oats
This is one for a Friday morning (or a Monday, if you like to kick off the week with a big goofy smile on your face).
Peanut Butter & Jelly Oats
With whipped peanut butter, banana oats and chia filling, this dish is filled with soluble fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
Banana Bread Oats
Pop a ripe banana, some oats, a little vanilla, some cinnamon and nuts into a mug with a lid for this decadent and filling mid-week brekkie.
