- ⅔ C quick oats
- ¾ C almond milk (we like unsweetended vanilla)
- ⅕ C sweetpotato mashed
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ¼ C Greek yogurt plain or vanilla - we suggest using your favorite flavor
- ½ tbsp maple syrup optional for added sweetness
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp peanut butter powder or peanut butter This is optional for added protien (we use the scoop that comes with it - this comes out to roughly 2 tablespoons)
Microwaveyour sweetpotato for 4-6 minutes, until soft. Scoop out the flesh and mash it. You could use a potato masher, a fork or hand mixer - do whatever is easiest for you.
Combine all ingredients in large Tupperware or mason jars. Sometimes, it is easier to mix everything in a mixing bowl (so the sweetpotato mixes in well), and then transfer to mason jars or overnight oat jars.
Put jars in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours, allowing the overnight oats to “set” and thicken.
Top with berries, banana slices, chocolate chips, nuts/seeds, nut butter - get creative and have something different each day while you learn your favorite way to eat overnight oats!
