Here it is: teeny tiny foodie’s first official recipe since the big move from Brooklyn to the suburbs! Just in time for back to school, I’m sharing an easy make-ahead breakfast recipe that will make your morning routine a little easier: Peaches & Cream Overnight Oats. Overnight oats is one of my most favorite fast and easy make-ahead breakfasts. I love that you just toss all the ingredients into an air-tight container and leave it for at least 6 hours (or overnight) and your breakfast is ready to go!
This is also a perfect recipe for a young sous chef to help put together because he or she can’t go wrong when pouring the ingredients into the container. Older sous chefs can help with the measuring or even chopping, too. Visit this recipe for Purple Overnight Oats for more ideas, including photos, of how your little one(s) can help you make this breakfast.
