Overnight oats is one of my favorite easy breakfast recipes that is both healthy and extremely fulfilling. Just mix a few ingredients and throw it in the fridge. It's a really simple way to get your protein and fibre for the day and also contains so many essential vitamins that support gut health. I first discovered overnight oats when I was struggling with IBS, and it became my staple because it helped with bloating and lowering inflammation while there were so many variations on the basic recipe, so I wouldn't get bored. When I first started out, I used maple syrup as my sweetener, but I realized it takes a LOT to make my oats sweet enough. Paal Coconut Sugar is the perfect addition overnight oats because it only takes about 1-2 teaspoons for the sugar is to infuse into the creaminess of the oats as they soak overnight, making for the ideal sweetener. Give this super simple recipe a try for your next breakfast!
