What we really love about overnight oats is that there are essentially no rules. You can have a quick look at what you have in your pantry, and chances are, there’s an ingredient or two that you can find which will complete your overnight oats recipe.
In this recipe, we will show you how to create overnight oats with an additional base ingredient: buckwheat. Just like oats, buckwheat is also a top-notch grain that is packed with both fiber and protein. What this translates to is longer hours of satisfaction. We are using almond milk for this recipe, along with some chia seeds.
We are topping our overnight oats with bananas. Feel free to add in some additional toppings like nuts, seeds, and fruits. Remember, there are essentially no rules.
Finally, we are spicing it up with some cinnamon and vanilla.
