Spiced Sweetpotato Overnight Oat Parfaits

Overnight oats are a delicious way to begin your day with a fiber, protein, nutrient, and vitamin packed treat. Hearty steel cut oats are combined with pureed sweetpotato, magical chia seeds, warm spices, creamy almond milk, sticky dates, sweet maple syrup, and plump raisins, and then layered with plump, sweet strawberries for added color, texture, and fresh, bright flavor. Before serving these spiced overnight oat parfaits, top each portion with chopped candied pecans, and some more shredded coconut and chopped berries. Because this treat can be prepared ahead of time, it’s the perfect snack to enjoy the following day for breakfast, lunch, or even dessert.
