Simple and inexpensive. Prepare these on Christmas Eve and let these overnight oats soak in
the fridge to produce a “cooked”, creamy, gorgeous fuss-free breakfast to wake up and dig
straight into in the morning filling and nutritious, a great way to begin your day, and not just
at Christmas! The jars I use in the image are a 500g capacity.
