Overnight oats have been around for centuries, but they've only recently become popular as a healthy breakfast option. The first recorded recipe for overnight oats appeared in a cookbook published in 1877. The recipe was simple: combine rolled oats, milk, and fruit in a jar and let it sit overnight. The oats would absorb the milk and fruit juices, creating a creamy, filling breakfast. In 1970s, overnight oats were popularized by health food stores and vegetarian restaurants. Today, overnight oats are a staple breakfast food for many people who are looking for a healthy, convenient, and delicious breakfast.
