Hey there, breakfast lovers! 💁♀️ Let me share my absolute favorite morning work snack that’s been getting rave reviews from my colleagues. Trust me, this Maple-Pecan Overnight Oats Parfait is about to become your new breakfast bestie!
Y’all, as a busy working girl who values both flavor and convenience, I’ve perfected this recipe through countless morning rushes. It’s literally a “prepare tonight, shine tomorrow” kind of situation!
What You’ll Need:
– 1/2 cup rolled oats (not the instant kind, honey!)
– 2/3 cup almond milk (or any milk that makes your heart happy)
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup (the real stuff, don’t you dare use the fake one!)
– 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
– 1/3 cup chopped pecans
– 1 diced apple
– Pinch of cinnamon
– Optional: a drizzle of honey (because why not?)
Let me walk you through this magic:
1. In a cute mason jar (presentation matters, queens!), mix your oats and milk.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and a generous pinch of cinnamon.
3. Cover and let it chill in the fridge overnight (this is when the magic happens!)
Morning Assembly (when you’re probably still half asleep):
1. Give your oats a good stir
2. Layer in the Greek yogurt
3. Top with diced apple and pecans
4. Drizzle remaining maple syrup and honey
Oh. My. Goodness. The combination of creamy oats, tangy yogurt, and crunchy nuts is simply _chef’s kiss_!

Pro tip: You can prep several jars on Sunday for the whole week. Work smarter, not harder, am I right?
The best part? This breakfast keeps you full until lunch, unlike that sad granola bar you’ve been munching on (no judgment, we’ve all been there!).
For extra pizzazz, try switching up the fruits seasonally. Berries in summer, pears in fall – the possibilities are endless, darling!

P.S. If you meal prep this on Sunday night while watching your favorite show, it feels less like meal prep and more like self-care. Just saying! 😉
