Cookies and Cream Overnight Oats [Guest Post]

TOA: Special shout out to Kelsey! She suggested making a cookies and cream overnight oatmeal, and I said her idea sounded brilliant and she should try it out herself. Being fantastic, she went to work right away and delivered this perfect recipe. I can’t wait to try it in my kitchen!

Hi there!

My name is Kelsey; I’m a math grad student at the University of Virginia and a major oatmeal fanatic. Before we get to the recipe, let me just say that I am so excited to be writing this guest post. I’m a big fan of the blog, so rest assured there was some major fangirling going on when Lauren brought up the possibility of writing this post.

My story is very similar to hers (digestive issues, transition to veganism, cutting out almost all added sugar, etc.), so I’ve always really related to the content on the blog. Oatmeal is one of my main creative outlets as far as food is concerned so I really love experimenting with new ingredients and flavor combos.

The newest flavor oatmeal in my life is Cookies and Cream. It plays off of Lauren’s faux-reo PB2 recipe, which is basically oreo cookie butter, and employs overnight oats, my new go-to afternoon snack. (more…)


Mojito Overnight Oatmeal

Once upon a time, in my blog’s infancy, I made Strawberry Mojito Oatmeal. Not many are brave enough to try it. After all, it includes a little banana, yet I try to convince you it’s undetectable beneath the lime and mint flavor. I stand by that claim, but this time I took a different approach.

First of all, this is an overnight recipe, so you enjoy it cold, like you would an actual mojito. Second of all, I went with grated zucchini instead of banana . . . because you guys LOVE zucchini in your oatmeal. Yes, I hear you. You love your #zoats.
