Cinnamon Berry Overnight Oats
Overnight oats is a nutritious breakfast option for busy mornings, especially for new moms. By soaking rolled oats in a liquid like milk or yogurt overnight, they soften and absorb the flavors, creating a creamy and satisfying texture. This preparation method requires minimal effort and can be customized. Different toppings such as fruits, nuts, and seeds can be added to always keep the oat recipe fresh. Nutritionally, overnight oats are rich in fiber, providing sustained energy and promoting digestive health.
