Pomegranate Cinnamon Overnight Oats

Make-ahead breakfasts are a lifesaver for busy mornings. These Pomegranate Cinnamon Overnight Oats are easy to batch-prepare and then enjoy when you’re rushed for time. Interestingly, I’ve been meaning to post an overnight oats recipe for some time but delayed because I also love my traditional warm oatmeal breakfast. However, little did I know that you could warm up your overnight oats the next day if you prefer. So, whether eating them hot or cold, I am thrilled to share my newest breakfast recipe, Pomegranate Cinnamon Overnight Oats. It’s simple and tasty! Further, it’s a feature recipe in my newest seasonal blog, 10 Favourite Christmas Brunch options.

Additionally, this Pomegranate Cinnamon Overnight Oats recipe is completely customizable to suit your flavour or fruit preferences. Perhaps you would enjoy blueberries or strawberries instead of pomegranates? Swap it out! Moreover, maybe you would like to change up the flavour profile for peanut butter banana overnight oats or cherry chocolate? Finally, sprinkling some chia seeds and/or coconut flakes on top sounds pretty delish, doesn’t it?
