This jar of goodness is the perfect breakfast for those of you who love to sleep till the very last second before hauling ass to work. More often than not, this is me. I’m a lazy morning person when I have a deadline. Maybe it’s my inner childishness rebelling against me actually being on time for work, it’s a bloody good job I work with my best friend. These Strawberry and Rhubarb Overnight Oats are the solution to leaving home on an empty stomach because all of the heavy lifting is done the night before. In fact this recipe should be enough to keep you going for a few days. Even better, right?!
If you can’t be bothered to make the compote from scratch you could always use a good quality jam, or even Nutella if you’re that way inclined.
