We have all heard of overnight oats. They are fantastic, make ahead, grab and go perfection. These Maple Brown Sugar Fruity Oats are a play on overnight oats.

A few years ago, I fell in love with steel oats, yes, they take longer to make but they have more flavor and are less processed. Over the years I tried to find the easiest way to make them up then one day I stumbled across some 3-minute steel oats… these are a true time saver game changer!
Because I am a mom and when my kids see oatmeal they expect it to look a certain way. I mix in some quick rolled oats in with the steel oats. Then adding the chia seeds gives the oats a little extra protein boost. From there you add your flavor.
For Maple Brown Sugar Fruity Oats, I simply added maple syrup, brown sugar, along with some pumpkin spice, and apples and peaches I had hanging out in the fridge. Within 10 minutes you have yourself a nutritious warm and delicious breakfast.
These Maple Brown Sugar Fruit Oats are sure to warm your soul and bet those fall blues. Don’t worry guys summer will come back around and remember without the other wonderful seasons, we may not enjoy the summer sun as much!
