What’s so special about overnight oats

Overnight oats is one our favorite recipe because it is so easy to make. For this, absolutely no cooking required to make this.

My toddler is a big fan oats and because it is rich in fibre, I try to incorporate it in our diet frequently. Additionally, when you soak oats overnight, oats becomes soft and it helps to break down phytic acid which is helpful to absorbs nutrients.

Once oats has become soft, it becomes so creamy that I just love the creamy texture. It is like the delicious pudding you are having in your breakfast. You can completely avoid sugar if you want in this recipe because fruits are added and it is a natural source of sugar.
