I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. While I managed to get in two great workouts this weekend (I can still barely walk thanks to Friday’s Gluteus MAXout class), I definitely overindulged with Easter dinner. Now that it’s over with though and it’s Monday, I’m ready to get back on track.
For this week’s breakfast I prepared Maple & Brown Sugar Overnight Steel Cut Oats. This is my first time preparing overnight oats. I’ve been wanting to try them for a while as oatmeal is said to boost breast milk supply, a top concern for breastfeeding working moms such as myself.
After experimenting with yesterday’s breakfast, I made my tweaks, and this morning’s batch was perfect! Super easy, super delicious, and a very healthy breakfast go-to.

Notes
Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your liking. You may also consider using rolled oats instead of steel cut oats, but steel cut is the healthier option of the two (though both are healthier than instant oats!).
