Some of the overnight oats are really pretty tasty. They can be flavored in various ways with little sugars and low fat dairy. My favorite is Overnight Carrot Cake Oats. It's 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats with 3 Tbs shredded carrot, 1 tsp chopped raisins, 1 tsp chia seeds, a touch of cinnamon, nutmeg, and/or allspice, and a drizzle honey or sugar substitute. I then add about 1/3 to 1/2 cup skim milk, cover and refrigerate over night. I prepare 2 tsp pan toasted pecan pieces for topping with 1 Tbs low fat plain yogurt, which I add just before eating. Mmm! The quantities could be reduced slightly.
