Our easy overnight oats recipe only needs 2 ingredients, oats and chocolate milk! A healthy and simple breakfast for busy mornings when you’re in a hurry. Eat it warmed up or straight out of the fridge!

Breakfast Rut

I’m kind of in a meal funk lately. Dinners aren’t the problem though. It’s breakfast and lunch. Which is actually unfair because I’ve always loved breakfast! As a kid I loved something as simple as Cheerios (with more sugar than I care to admit) or as complex as omelets, french toast or muffins.

Nowadays I tend to rotate between eggs, cottage cheese with toppings (see my high protein Cottage Cheese Bowl, or Savory Oats which are a major favorite) protein shakes, or simply avocado toast. But lately…

Lately nothing sounds good and nothing satisfies me.

Anyone else in a rut?

On a whim I threw together these Hot Cocoa Overnight Oats made with a limited edition TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow chocolate milk and we ended up making them multiple times in a week!

What are Overnight Oats?

Overnight oats are a no-cook breakfast made by soaking raw rolled oats in a liquid, like milk or yogurt, in the refrigerator overnight. The soaking process softens the oats, creating a creamy, chilled dish similar to a pudding or porridge that can be eaten cold in the morning without any cooking. You can also give them a quick zap in the microwave if cold oatmeal isn’t your vibe. They are healthy make-ahead breakfast that are totally customizable to whatever your family loves.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You only need 2 ingredients for this easy overnight oats recipes!

• Chocolate Milk: Adds rich cocoa flavor and sweetness while making the oats extra creamy.
• Old Fashioned Oats: Soak up the milk perfectly for a soft, creamy texture that’s never mushy.

How to Make Chocolate Overnight Oats

1. Combine: Add the milk and oats to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
2. Divide into Servings: Spoon into the containers you plan to use.
3. Refrigerate: Store in the fridge overnight. They will be ready to eat in the morning.
4. Garnish (Optional): Top with whipped topping, marshmallows and mini chocolate chips the next morning. Serve warm or cold. Feel free to stir in other add-ins! See section below.

Our Easy French Toast Casserole is a classic recipe for brunch or breakfast, especially a holiday breakfast! You’ll go nuts for the cinnamon crumb topping. 

It has been years and years since we’ve updated this old post for our favorite, simple french toast bake, but I’m finally getting around to it. Every year I’ve made it for a special breakfast, vowed to take new photos and then gobbled the entire thing up. 

Well, a few months back we lost a few of our older posts in a tragic mishap on the blog, so here we are, desperate to get this baked french toast back up because it’s the perfect holiday breakfast!

Ingredients for French Toast Casserole

There’s nothing too surprising here, but starting with a good bread is crucial! Other than the bread, you’ll probably have everything else at home already. Here is your ingredients list:

• Challah, Brioche or Sourdough Bread: you want a dense sturdy bread and day old is best
• Eggs: large eggs, medium and you’ll need more eggs, extra large and you’ll need less
• Milk: don’t use fat free milk, but any other milk will work fine, we prefer 2%
• Heavy Cream: essential for the custard base of the casserole and adds richness and flavor
• Sugar: any granulated refined sugar works great
• Brown Sugar: adds flavor and richness
• Cinnamon: any brand of cinnamon is great
  • NOTE: If you’re a nutmeg fan, you could add a little pinch of nutmeg too. I especially love that during the holidays!
• Vanilla: real vanilla extract is preferred

Topping

• Butter: chilled and cut into small (1/2 inch-ish) cubes
• Flour: just all purpose
• Brown Sugar: I never need a reason for brown sugar…haha…but really it’s all the flavor and sweetness
• Cinnamon: combined with the brown sugar and it’s all the flavor you need
• Salt: just a little pinch enhances all the flavors
• Optional: Top with powdered sugar and fresh raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc.

Growing up, my grandma’s kitchen was always filled with the sweet scent of fresh peaches in the summer.

Cheesecake Baked Yogurt [+Video]

Are you looking for a new, healthy breakfast recipe? Our Cheesecake Baked Yogurt is easy to make. In fact it only takes a few ingredients and your favorite Greek Yogurt to make a simple and unique breakfast or brunch recipe.

STOP with the boring ol’ breakfasts you’ve been eating for years and years! You can make this special brunch recipe for Mother’s day, Easter or just because you’re having a lazy day at home and need an easy breakfast recipe. It tastes like a baked custard and you’ll feel like you’re eating dessert for breakfast!

Ingredients for Baked Cheesecake Yogurt

There are three components to this recipe – the baked yogurt, the berry sauce topping and the graham cracker topping. I like to make the graham cracker topping and berry sauce first (up to days ahead of time), and then make the cake. Here is everything you will need:

• Graham Cracker Topping: graham crackers, butter, kosher salt and cinnamon
• Berry Sauce: cornstarch, water, fresh raspberries, sugar and lemon juice
• Baked Yogurt: vanilla Greek yogurt, eggs, cornstarch, honey, vanilla extract and mixed berries
  • NOTE: The cornstarch is critical to getting the right texture for the berry yogurt bake. It soaks up extra moisture to get the perfect bake.

The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

How to Make Cheesecake Baked Yogurt

Let me take you through the process of making each part of this baked yogurt recipe…

Graham Cracker Topping

1. Blend: Add the graham crackers to a blender or food processor and pulse until fine crumbs.
2. Mix: Add the melted butter, salt, and cinnamon and mix to combine. Set aside to use later.

Berry Sauce

1. Combine: Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small saucepan until dissolved then add the raspberries, sugar and lemon juice and stir to combine.
2. Boil: Turn the stove on to medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Let it boil for 3 full minutes stirring occasionally then remove the pan from the heat.
3. Strain: Press the berry mixture through a mesh strainer to remove the seeds.
4. Cool: Let the sauce cool completely to room temperature. Store in the fridge.

NOTE: You can also use raspberry jam instead of making homemade sauce. Just warmed it up a little to drizzle on the cake.
