6. Peanut Butter Blended Overnight Oats

Peanut butter lovers will love this easy, healthy breakfast. Perfect for busy mornings, these oats require zero cooking the night before, making them a great option for anyone who feels rushed on their way out of the door. 

Blending the oats before they set makes them nice and smooth (no chewy texture!), while a topping of pure maple syrup and extra peanuts adds depth and flavour. 

Plus, these oats also sneak in some maca powder for extra nutrition. 

7. Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats

These strawberry cheesecake overnight oats taste like an indulgent dessert. Not only are they easy to make, but they're also vegan. Use any non-dairy yogurt you like, and if you're not vegan, plain Greek yogurt works equally well. The best way to enjoy these oats is with a Biscoff biscuit crumbled on top for added texture. 

7. Zucchini Bread Overnight Oats

Creamy homemade granola with chocolate chips in a glass jar, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack. Filled with oats, nuts, and chocolate for a delicious, nutritious treat.

Running low on healthy breakfast ideas? 

This overnight oats combo takes zucchini bread to help sneak some extra greens into your morning meal. Though it might sound strange, zucchini is a wonderful addition to these zucchini-bread-inspired overnight oats. With cinnamon, vanilla extract, chocolate chips and soy milk (or your favourite kind of milk), they taste just like the classic baked good you know and love. We promise you won't even notice the extra veggies!
