Baked Overnight Oats!

I still struggle with eating breakfast because I’m always on the go and would rather take the extra 15 minutes of sleep (college is hard, y’all…) But I know that breakfast is important and it really helps to kick start the day, so I’d been looking for a quick breakfast to make that’s healthy and tasty… and I found it!

Ingredients

• 2 cups of fruit (I prefer blueberries, blueberry/strawberry mix, or strawberry/banana mix)
• 2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups almond milk (I prefer unsweetened)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tbsp flaxseed (I’ve been using Chia seeds instead)
• 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x9in baking dish.
2. Place 1 cup of your fruit of choice at the bottom of your greased baking dish.
3. In a large/medium sized bowl, whisk together the oats, pecans, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Once finished, spread the mixture on top of the fruit in your baking dish. Be sure to spread evenly.
4. In the previous bowl or another small bowl, whisk together to almond milk, maple syrup, flaxseed, coconut oil and vanilla extract. Pour the liquid over the oat mixture in your baking dish; be sure to spread evenly.
5. Place the remaining cup of fruit on top of your oats in your baking dish.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes or unit golden brown. Cool for around 5 minutes.

I cut my dish into 3 rows and 3 columns to make 9 breakfasts! Just cover the mixture in your fridge and heat-up a piece for about a minute! I like to add Greek yogurt and maple syrup to mine when I eat them! SO GOOD!!!
