Overnight oats rank as perhaps the simplest meal prep solution you’ll ever find. Just mix all the ingredients in a jar, let it rest overnight, and you’re all set for a wholesome breakfast! While oats have been a traditional breakfast staple for centuries, the popularity of overnight oats has surged in recent years due to their sheer simplicity.

Oats themselves are whole grains and a rich source of complex carbohydrates, known to help regulate blood sugar, reduce cravings, and provide lasting satiety thanks to their high fiber content. Even though overnight oats aren’t prepared in the conventional way (cooking in a pot with water or milk), the overnight soaking in liquid enhances their digestibility, much like the classic Bircher Muesli, which is the predecessor of overnight oats.
