The overnight oat and extras base recipe is easy to make and very tasty.  It is easy to add other nuts and fruits in the morning for a quick and delicious breakfast.  I also make a similar overnight recipe for hot cereal in a rice cooker and add cut up granny smith apples, apricots, prunes and almond slices (or walnuts) to the mix.  The milk is substituted with some non-sweetened apple juice and water.  We eat this mostly in winter and switch to the cold recipe in the summer.  It's GREAT!

This recipe is perfect for meal prepping breakfasts!! I love adding trail mix and dark chocolate chips to this base. I've also contemplated adding instant espresso powder to it for a bit of a kick - maybe next time!
