Cinnamon Raisin Overnight Oats
Cinnamon Raisin Overnight Oats
Who thought of overnight oats? I mean, it’s brilliant! Waking up and having breakfast made and ready for you … isn’t that what we all want?Who has time to make breakfast anyway! I know for sure that I don’t. It’s recipes like these that I heavily rely on since I am 100% night owl and not at all a morning person. I leave myself about 30 minutes in the morning before leaving for work and that doesn’t include eating. So, being able to open the fridge, grab these oats and go is a win in my books!
I love to top mine with more raisins and fresh, diced apples. If you like nuts, some chopped walnuts would also be a gorgeous addition of crunch and flavour. It’s a delicious way to start the day and with the help of the chia seeds and hemp hearts it should keep you full for a while. You can make this recipe dairy-free by substituting the cream for more nut milk or oat milk. You can also double the recipe and make enough for the whole family! It will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days quite well.
