The Ultimate Breakfast

We eat oats almost every single day in some form or another. Almost always it’s for breakfast, and the rest of the time, it’s a snack or dessert. Whether it’s overnight oats or an oatmeal bake or oatmeal pancakes, when it comes to breakfast, the recipe options with oats are endless! And this vegan overnight oats recipe is oh so flavorful and easy to make! Chocolate + chai is like banana + peanut butter. It just works. Especially in the fall and winter. Ya feel me? And I’m so much more likely to eat a healthy breakfast if I prep it the night before. Cue: overnight oats. That way, I can just grab it on my way out the door even when I don’t have time to eat at home.
