    You can eat overnight oats cold or heat them up in the microwave. I like to eat them cold with my favourite fruit, yogurt and nuts on top. There are so many delicious toppings you can try!

    This is one of my favourite quick breakfasts to make, and you can find all of my other delicious and easy breakfast ideas right here.
