The best part of these kid-friendly overnight oats are the toppings. Once your base ingredients have thickened up, add any of the four flavor combinations below! Try the Banana Bread with chocolate chips and cinnamon, or the Maple French Toast with raw pecans and raisins. Almond butter with strawberry jam is perfect for those that can’t get enough PB&J, and even picky eaters will love the coconutty Almond Joy that tastes even better than the candy.
Store your kid-friendly overnight oats in a glass jar to keep the ingredients fresh. Your kids can enjoy them straight out of the jar for a quick, fun breakfast before school!
