Overnight oats are the ultimate lazy breakfast. The oats soften in milk and yoghurt overnight into something creamy and pudding-like, with no cooking required.
The basic ratio is easy to remember: equal volumes of oats and liquid, plus a spoonful of yoghurt. Adding chia seeds makes them extra thick. Top with fruit, nuts or nut butter in the morning.
