A nutritious grab-and-go breakfast will guarantee you start the day off right. Prep overnight oats the night before and always have a batch of pecan super seed crumble on hand for an easy morning meal. Add peaches or fruit of your choice, if you’d like. Pecan Crumble can also be topped on yogurt or oatmeal.

Ingredients

Overnight Oats
1 cup low fat dairy or non-dairy yogurt
2 cups reduced fat dairy or unsweetened non-dairy milk
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups old-fashioned oats (regular or gluten-free)
4 to 5 peaches, pitted and chopped
Pecan Super Seed Crumble
1 cup pecan pieces
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon flax seeds
2 tablespoons hemp hearts
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons coconut oil or pecan oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Prepare the overnight oats: Combine yogurt, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and oats in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours.
To make the crumble: preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, combine pecans, chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp hearts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture over the pecan mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold the maple syrup mixture into the seed mixture until evenly coated. The mixture will be very wet (that’s okay).
Transfer the granola to your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Allow the granola to cool completely untouched. Once the granola is cool, break it up into pieces and place in an airtight container. The mixture will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
To assemble the overnight oats, add 1/2 cup of the oat mixture to a jar and top with a 1/2 cup of chopped peaches and 1/2 cup (or more, if desired) of the pecan crumble. Serve immediately.
