For those hectic mornings when you’re rushing out the door, overnight oats are a lifesaver. They require minimal prep time, are incredibly versatile, and give you a balanced breakfast that’s ready when you wake up.

Customization:

• Add nut butter: For an extra boost of protein, stir in a spoonful of almond or peanut butter. It adds a creamy texture and a rich, nutty flavor.
• Bananas: Sliced bananas are another great option to add natural sweetness and potassium to your oats.

By prepping this easy, primary plant-based overnight oat recipe, you’ll have a nutritious, on-the-go breakfast that combines both sweet and savory flavors, thanks to the addition of Bacony Bits. It’s perfect for those mornings when you need something quick but delicious!
