A simple, easy and delicious overnight oats breakfast bowl.

I have a love-hate relationship with porridge oats - it was never my favourite breakfast item. However, I do love oat flour and mostly use it for baked treats, cakes, muffins, cookies, pancakes, flapjacks and more. It's such a great flour to work with!
