Plum Overnight Oats

Oatmeal is definitely one of my favorite breakfasts to eat. I didn’t like it as much as a kid. But back then, I didn’t realize that there was a whole world out there beyond the boring plain envelope that you got in the box. Making your own oatmeal at home allows for a lot of creativity and flavor combinations that you’re never going to find in an envelope. For example, why not add plums to your oatmeal? The best part is, you can start making this at night so that it is ready to eat in the morning, saving your time and giving you a tasty and healthy start to your day.
