Easy Cinnamon Raisin Overnight Oats That’ll Keep You Full All Morning

As college students, we’re always searching for the simplest ways to feed ourselves well and stay healthy during this crazy stage of life. Look no further than overnight oats. Featuring ingredients you probably already keep stocked in your kitchen — along with taking hardly any prep time at all — they give you no excuse to skip breakfast.

Instead of shoveling handfuls from your standard box of processed cereal (I’m looking at you, Kellogg’s) for breakfast, give this variation of overnight oats a try. Packed with plump raisins, warm cinnamon, and a hint of maple sweetness, it’ll keep you full throughout the morning without the dreaded sugar crash.
