Overnight Oats with Pumpkin, Bananas, and Pecans



My younger sister has recently discovered her favorite breakfast is a no-go for her, so I was on the search to find something yummy, healthy, and fast for her to eat in the mornings. In doing so, I have found my new favorite breakfast. You make it in a jar the night before, shake it up, and add a topping in the morning. It is delicious and filling, after I eat it I am not even hungry for a snack until lunch. You can try many other variations to mix it up- peanut butter instead of pumpkin butter, strawberries/blueberries instead of bananas. Make it what you like.
