Chai Overnight Oats

By Katrina Lander

No matter what time of year it is, oats will always be a favourite breakfast of mine. They are so versatile, can be eaten hot or cold, are nutritious and so easy to put together – what’s not to love? 

Overnight oats are my go-to make ahead breakfast for days in the office, and busy mornings when I know I will have limited time to spend on making a breakfast. Chai spiced overnight oats are one of my favourite flavour combinations, they are creamy, slightly sweet with a balance of richness and spice.
