Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are just oats soaked overnight that absorb the liquid you put them in - any kind of liquid you like! The most common mixture is equal parts raw rolled oats, milk and yogurt (I like 1/3 or 1/2 cup of each). You can use any kind of yogurt or milk. Put in the fridge overnight (uncovered or covered, your choice) and let 'em soak up the liquids.

Notes

The basic KERF recipe with 1/3 cup oats, 2% milk, whole Greek yogurt, and half a tablespoon of chia seeds provides just under 250 calories, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 14 grams of protein, and 9 grams of fat. Super filling without any toppings!
