Better Than Overnight Oats

I want to love overnight oats. I just can’t. Every single time I’ve tried them, I’ve been disappointed. There’s just something off about them. If you’re like me and you just can’t get excited about overnight oats, do what I do instead. It’s easier and tastier. And toddler approved. 

When you get up in the morning, make coffee. While the coffee is brewing, put a single serving Greek yogurt of your favorite flavor (the 5.3 oz kind) in a bowl with 1/2 to 2/3 cup quick oats, depending on how hungry you are. Add an equal amount of milk as oats and stir it all up. Let it sit in the fridge while you get ready for your day: walk the dogs, take a shower (ha!), brush your hair (ha!), wash the dishes from dinner. Whatever you do in the morning that takes 20-30 minutes, do it. When you’re done, pull the easier than overnight oats out of the fridge and enjoy. 

My favorite flavors of yogurt for this are mixed berry and coffee. Which flavor of yogurt will you be adding to your next oatmeal?
