Black Forest Overnight Oats
Overnight oats are the perfect solution to starting your busy morning on the right foot. The combination of cherries and cocoa is inspired by a traditional Black Forest cake, creating richness and sweetness without adding too much sugar. A dollop of yogurt adds a little extra protein and a creamy texture.
