That’s right. For the next 7 days, you’re going to get an overnight oat recipe each day + a fun fact about yours truly. Why did I choose overnight oatmeal for this series? Because I am an oatasauras rex.
No, but freals, ask any of my friends what I’m passionate about and oatmeal will be in my top ten…right behind peanut butter. Oats are something I eat daily. I love their versatility, their power to make me poop (yes, I said it), and their minimal cost! One of my all-time favorite things to do during summertime is to make overnight oats!
If you’ve never heard of overnight oats, it’s a way to eat oatmeal without ever cooking the oats! All you do is let your oats and mix-ins soak overnight so it’s easy to digest in the morning. Cold oats? Uh- it actually rocks. Once you try OO, you’ll never go back…until it’s the dead of winter and you need something hot to warm your soul.
I am kicking off this magnificent series with MOOSE TRACKS OVERNIGHT OATS.
You read that right. Moosetracks Overnight Oats, fully equipped with a fudge swirl AND cookie dough pieces.
You’re not going to believe how unbelievable this recipe tastes AND that it’s actually good for you in moderation!
Place all ingredients in a medium-sized food storage container and mix until combined. Place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight!
In the morning, check the consistency of your oats. If you like things a little less thick, add a few more tablespoons of milk. Then, swirl with fudge and top with Healthy Cookie Dough Bites.
If you don’t like your oats super thick, use 1 cup of milk instead of 3/4 cup. Note that you can always add more milk the morning off to thin things out!
As part of this series, I decided I was going to share each day one interesting fact with you guys.
Fact #1: I HATE staying up late.
Let me rephrase that. I’m a morning person. When I was younger, I was always the first one up in the Hersh household. Did you know that normal TV programming doesn’t start until 6 AM and all you’re going to get until then is infomercials? Let’s just say I had a long list of items I wanted to buy one day such as Oxyclean, Hairagami, and the Magic Bullet (which I actually own). Even throughout college, I was always the first one asleep. My roommates would be throwing a raging party and I’d hit the pillow at like 10:30 PM #sorrynotsorry. To this day I can’t stand staying up late. It’s the worst when your friends want to meet up at 10 PM. PEOPLE, can’t we just shift our night 3 hours so we can all be home in our footy pajamas sleeping at 10 PM? I do love having the morning to myself!
