Easy Overnight Oats with Instant Breakfast Powder
Ah, mornings. I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a morning person. My grandfather was a morning person, and my father is a morning person, but not me.
Not in the slightest.
Because of that fact, breakfast has always been something of an afterthought. I’m barely awake when I eat it, so why bother with anything creative? However, the same old, same old for breakfast every day does get a bit dull. How do you make breakfast interesting while still keeping it simple? My breakfast solution is Carnation Breakfast Essentials®. Using Carnation Breakfast Essentials® in this recipe makes breakfast incredibly easy and delicious!

This looks like a great way to start the day! [client]

It truly is! 🙂

The longer I live abroad, the more intrigued I become by American food. In Denmark, there is very little prepared food, and fortified food is illegal, so I make pretty much everything from scratch using basic ingredients. Oh how I long for the convenience of the shortcuts I took for granted back in the States.
Katie
At least this is mostly from scratch, with the milk and oatmeal. The powder adds the sweetness and some extra nutrients, which is good, too.
Melissa
These easy overnight oats do look like the ultimate breakfast idea for working Moms and Dads. I have never thought to add Carnation Breakfast to them! I make them all the time with almond milk and fruit but adding the Carnation especially for my son is brilliant! Thanks for sharing this great hack!
Katie
You’re welcome! Anything to make mornings easier. 🙂
Jennifer
I have never thought about overnight oats until recently. It seems like it is everyone’s new favorite breakfast. Adding the carnation into it is also a great idea for the added nutrients.
Katie
Overnight oats has been such a “thing” that I can’t believe I didn’t try it for so long!
Emma Spellman
Looks really, really good. I like the idea of breakfast being ready and in the fridge when I wake up. Oatmeal is so good for you too! I will try this soon.
Katie
Yup, just roll out of bed, and there it is, waiting for you. That’s my idea of simple!
Mommy Pehpot
That’s a very nice breakfast to start your day with. I would love to try this recipe one of these days. Thanks so much for sharing.
Katie
It really is. It’s so easy, too!
Aileen Adalid
I like a good oatmeal — more so if it’s prepared overnight! That way the flavors really come to ‘stick’. Thanks for this recipe!
Katie
Overnight really does make the flavors mesh well. Thanks for stopping by!
Dina Demarest
This looks really good! I have been having a hard time with my breakfast routine and this will definitely help get me out of the rut.
Katie
For sure! I’m actually experimenting with using steel cut oats, too. It soaks up more milk, but I just add a little extra plain milk in the morning.
Kim
Is this eaten cold, right out of the fridge?
Katie
It’s up to your preference. Some people have it cold, others warm it up in the microwave. Entirely up to you. 🙂
Winter
Wow this looks healthy and yummy at the same time! I am on a health kick and looking for breakfast options that are creative yet healthy so I will def have to try this!
Katie
Hope you like it! It sure makes breakfast easy.
