CINNAMON OVERNIGHT OATS WITH VANILLA CREAM CHEESE TOPPING & BLUEBERRIES


A healthy wholesome breakfast that also tastes amazing? Yup, you heard right! I've seen overnight oats hyped in all corners of the internet but never made them until now because, not being a massive fan of porridge, I really didn't thin I would enjoy them much. 

Well turns out I was wrong! Soaking the oats in almond milk overnight gives them an almost custard like, creamy texture and with the right spices added to the mix this is a super yummy, filling and satisfying breakfast to set you up for the day. 

The cream cheese topping is not a must and a little indulgent but bloody fantastic, and hey this is still a lot more healthy than any morning pastry!
