With May coming to an end, I’m super excited for it to be officially Summer! I am imagining all of the awesome Summer flavors that come with this sunny season. But for starters, I had to share this Overnight Oats recipes with you guys!
I can admit that this was my first time going down the ‘overnight oats’ route. While this has been a trend for some time, I honestly was a bit concerned that I wouldn’t fully enjoy it. However, to my surprise, keeping them overnight is AMAZING!
OK, so if you’re a lover of oatmeal, then I’d recommend heading over to our Breakfast Peanut Butter Banana Chia Seeds Oats, which is such an easy recipe to whip together.
To add a bit of Spring-like flavor to your morning routine, this Healthy Cranberry Orange Oats with Pistachios recipe is a MUST as well. Packed with great, bold flavor and nutrients, this oatmeal is a sure way to get your tastebuds dancing and your tummy full for a few hours before needing another bite to eat. Haha.
However, if you aren’t into actual oatmeal bowls, but love to incorporate oatmeal in whatever you decide to create, this Banana Mango Raspberry ‘Sunrise’ Oats Smoothie is full of fruity flavor.
On the other hand, one of our most loved oatmeal recipes are these Flourless Vegan Banana Oats Waffles! Made right in a blender, these Gluten-Free waffles are naturally sweetened, fluffy, thick, airy, and full of flavor. The perfect breakfast or brunch dish with the perfect taste for your mornings!
And then there are these Fluffy Vegan Oatmeal Whole Wheat Pancakes, which are completely fluffy and oil-free and are truly irresistible.
