The ultimate make-ahead breakfast, overnight oats are so versatile and filling, with all the benefits of porridge and none of the slaving over a hot stove in the morning.
Oats are slow-release energy because of the high fibre content, which protects against blood-sugar spikes (and subsequent crashes!) but also helps to excrete excess cholesterol from the body, and feeds the helpful bacteria in our gut.
